S
The NetLINE PCI Card LEDs can give you information about link status
and network activity. After the card and driver are properly installed,
the LEDs will become active.
LINK
: This indicator gives you information about the link status of the
RJ-45 connection. A steady green light indicates that the PCI card is
properly connected and receiving a signal. If this LED is not lit, it may
indicate one of the following:
■
No twisted pair cable is connected.
■
The network cable is not properly connected or is faulty.
■
A non–10Base-T device is connected at the other end of the
network cable.
■
The network cable exceeds 100 meters.
■
The card is not receiving power.
■
Link test is disabled.
■
You are using a ‘straight through’ 10Base-T cable to connect
directly to another workstation without a hub.
■
You are using a ‘crossover’ cable to connect to a hub.
ACT (Activity)
: A flashing light indicates that network data is being
transmitted or received by the PCI card. If the light is off, it indicates
there is no network activity.
