LED Indicators
The LED status indicators (Figure 7) are an important troubleshooting
tool and should be checked whenever a problem is suspected. Table 3
describes the function of each status LED on the top panel of the radio.
In addition to the top panel LEDs, the
ETHERNET/LAN connector has
two integrated LEDs. A steady green LED indicates that an Ethernet
link has been established, a flashing green indicates data activity, and
a yellow LED indicates 100 Mbps operation.
