1.9.7 Unable to Verify the NIC Connection on Your PC
Symptom When connecting your PC to the ONS 15454, you are unable to verify that the network
interface card (NIC) connection is working properly because the link LED is not illuminated or flashing.
Possible Cause The Category-5 cable is not plugged in properly.
Recommended Action Confirm that both ends of the cable are properly inserted. If the cable is not
fully inserted due to a broken locking clip, the cable should be replaced.
