Check the Ethernet cable

If you connect a radio and the Ethernet LED does not light on the radio, there
may be a problem with the Ethernet cable. Verify that the cable is plugged into
the radio at one end, and to an Ethernet hub or a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet switch
at the other end.
Note: The RLXIB-IESC radio auto-detects the Ethernet connection type, and does not require a
crossover cable for direct connection to a PC.

Page 26 of 98
Description
This green LED indicates that the radio has power.
This yellow LED indicates RF transmission.
This green LED indicates RF reception.
If this green LED is lit, the serial cable is connected. If this LED is flashing, a
serial packet is being transmitted or received (The serial port is not available in
the first release of the radio).
If this green LED is lit, the Ethernet cable is connected. If this LED is flashing, an
Ethernet packet is being transmitted or received.
If only one of these three LEDs is lit, then the radio is linked. If two LEDs are lit,
the radio's signal strength is fair. If all three LEDs are lit, the signal strength is
good.
