the 10 Mbit/s network ports on the switch can be configured to operate in one
of two ways:
■ Link/Activity - In this mode, each LED indicates the connection status of
the port for 3 seconds after the network cable is first installed and every
time the switch is powered on. After 3 seconds, the LED is used to
