Troubleshooting

The most common factors that cause an adapter to fail are configuration conflicts and

cabling problems. PCI cards shouldn’t have any conflct problems due to Plug and Play

specifications. One should check the cable and its terminator. Also, use the adapter LED

indicators and diagnostic program. For information on the Diagnostic Program, please

see the Setup program. If the problem presists, call your dealer for help.

LED Indicators

The LEDs help you monitor the network status. Their functions depend on the type of

cable used.

*Link monitors the data link status on the UTP cable. It turns ON when there is data

linked, and OFF when there is a bad connection.

*Activity blinks when there is data transmission/reception.
