The Crossover Switch
When"uplinking," or connecting two pieces of network hardware together,
such as a hub and a switch, a general rule of thumb is to plug one end of a
network cable into a straight-through port, and the other end into a crossover
port. Standard ports are straight-through ports, and uplink ports are crossover
ports.

is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to a
device through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering, the
Router is actively sending or receiving data through the LAN
port.
Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this
LED remains lit, a LAN port connection is being successful-
ly maintained. If the LED flickers, the connection is experi-
encing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal.
If this LED flickers too often, there may be a problem with
your connection. See the Troubleshooting section if you
encounter this problem.
10/100 Orange. The 10/100 LED lights up when a successful
100Mbps connection is made through the corresponding
port.
If a connection is running at 10Mbps, the 10/100 LED will
not light up.
The WAN Indicators
Link Green. The Link LED lights up when a successful connec-
tion is made between the Router and your broadband device
or network.
Act Green. The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or
receiving data over the broadband WAN port.
Diag Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through
its self-diagnostic mode. It will turn off upon successful
completion of the diagnosis.
If this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time,
see the Troubleshooting section.
