    LR-2000. Refer to Figure 4-2. Power (PWR) LED When lit, this green LED indicates that the LR-2000 is receiving power. If this LED is not lit, the problem may be with the input power or the LR-2000. Transceiver Power (XCVR PWR) LED When lit, this green LED indicates that the LR-2000 is providing power to the external transceivers connected to the LR-2000.
  • Page 16 Figure 4-2. LANVIEW LEDs Jam (JAM) LED This red LED normally flashes on and off to indicate that the LR-2000 is propagating a collision from the segment on which the collision is occurring to the other segment connected to the repeater. When this LED flashes, a pattern of 1,0 is sent to each segment to indicate that a collision is occurring on one of the segments.
