    Link-Speed LEDs The HP J6057A/J4169A print server provides 2 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) near the RJ-45 connector. These LEDs indicate the operating link speed of the print server. LED State Description Not linked Link established at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps LEDs Link Troubleshooting...
  • Page 25 Try the following troubleshooting procedures: Verify cabling connections. Configure the print server’s 10/100TX link setting directly (for example, using the EIO menu on the printer’s control panel). Verify that the configuration of the connecting network device (such as a network switch) matches. For example, if you set the print server for 100Base-TX Full-Duplex operation, the port on the network switch must also be set to 100Base-TX Full-Duplex operation.
