Performing Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Tests
7-18
If you are experiencing any problems, first make sure that
your hub complies with the 10BASE-T specifications.
Then check the LED.
■ If the LED is on, the link beat is working.
■ If the LED is off, the link beat has not been
established or there is a problem with the connection
between the adapter and the hub.
■ If the LED is blinking, the cable polarity is reversed.
Software Checks
If you have installed the adapter correctly and you still
experience problems, check the software.
Make sure that you have installed the correct drivers for
the network operating system you are running (refer to
Chapter 6, “Installing the Network Drivers”).
If any problem persists, refer to Appendix D, “Technical
Support.”
