LANX-2 Boards
The LanX8-2 and LanX16-2 are second generation boards integrating respectively 1 or 2
Ethernet Gigabit ports for a Lanswitch/Layer 2 configuration. Any port can be used as an
Uplink, as all the ports are auto MDI/MDIX.
Unlike the 1st generation boards, the LEDs of the A and B ports are both located at the top of
the board. The Led display is as follows:
-
Green LED (left) = link status and activity:
•
off: link disconnected
•
on: link connected
•
blinking: link active
-
yellow LED (right) = speed:
•
off: low speed (10 or 100 Mb for Gigabit port, 10 Mb for the other ports)
•
on: high speed (1 Gb for Gigabit port, 100 Mb for the other ports)
