Troubleshooting the integrated Ethernet adapter

This section provides troubleshooting information for problems that might occur with
the 10/100 Mbps integrated Ethernet adapter.
Network connection problems
If the Ethernet adapter cannot connect to the network, check the following:
1. Make sure that the cable is installed correctly.
2. Determine if the hub supports auto-negotiation. If not, try configuring the
3. Check the Ethernet adapter lights on the operator information panel. These

The network cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable is
attached but the problem persists, try a different cable.
If you set the Ethernet adapter to operate at 100 Mbps, you must use Category
5 cabling.
If you directly connect two workstations (without a hub), or if you are not using a
hub with X ports, use a crossover cable.
Note: To determine whether a hub has an X port, check the port label. If the
label contains an X, the hub has an X port.

lights indicate whether a problem exists with the connector, cable, or hub.
v The Ethernet Link Status light is On when the Ethernet adapter receives a
LINK pulse from the hub. If the light is Off, there might be a bad connector or
cable, or a problem with the hub.
v The Ethernet Transmit/Receive Activity light is On when the Ethernet adapter
sends or receives data over the Ethernet Network. If the Ethernet
