Rear Panel
The rear panel of a Model DS508, Model DS516, and Model DS524 hub has two LEDs, one
labeled Terminator and one labeled 10/100 Mbps Bridge. The Terminator LED indicates whether
or not the built-in terminator in that hub is active (the built-in terminator eliminates the need for an
external terminator). The 10/100 Mbps Bridge LED indicates which hub has the active bridge.
