RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Port Status LED - Right (Duplex/Collision)
Amber Port is set to
10BASE-T
full-duplex
mode.
— If 10BASE-T full-duplex operation is
desired, no action is required. If
10BASE-T full-duplex operation is not

Flashing
amber
Port is set to
10BASE-T
half-duplex
mode and
network
collision has
occurred.*
Normal or excessive collisions
occur on a half-duplex link.*
If a normal collision occurs, no action is
required.
If a problem with the network exists due
to excessive collisions, do any of the
following as appropriate:
• If half-duplex mode is not required,
set the TX Mode switch to full-
duplex mode by means of auto
negotiation or by forcing the mode
(refer to the Setting 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX Port Modes of Opera-
tion section in this manual for
information).
• If half-duplex mode is required, do
any of the following as applicable:
– Replace the network cable if it is
defective or if it is not the proper
cable type. Use Category 5e or
higher cable.
– Ensure that the cable is the
proper length. Cable length must
not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).
– Replace the network interface
card (NIC) if it is defective or if it
is incompatible.
– Segment the network.
