Description
Flashes rapidly at start-up while performing self
tests and when acquiring network parameters.
A steady yellow state indicates the box is ready
for operation. Slow flashing pattern indicates an
error occurred.
Indicates the GPIB-ENET/100 detected a twisted
pair (10Base-T or 100Base-TX) link. The color
indicates the connection speed. If yellow, the speed
is 10 Mbits/s. If green, the speed is 100 Mbits/s.
Indicates the GPIB-ENET/100 is transmitting to
the Ethernet network.
Indicates the GPIB-ENET/100 is receiving
Ethernet network traffic.
Indicates the GPIB-ENET/100 is configured as a
GPIB Talker.
Indicates the GPIB-ENET/100 is configured as
a GPIB Listener.
