Interpret the Status Indicators on the 1784-PCIC and -PCICS

The status indicators on the card give you information about the card and the
network when you're connected via the BNC connectors. Table B outlines the
states and explains what each state means to you and the action you should take, if
any, to correct that state.
ControlNet status interpretation
• steady - indicator is on continuously in the defined state.
• alternating - the two indicators alternate between the two defined
states at the same time (applies to both indicators viewed together).
The two indicators are always in opposite states, out of phase.
• flashing - the indicator alternates between the two defined states
(applies to each indicator viewed independent of the other). If both
indicators flash, they must flash together, in phase.
IMPORTANT
When you connect the module to a ControlNet network using
the network access port (NAP) only, the LEDs are meaningless.
