    This section explains each of the MR-9000TPT LANVIEW LEDs. Power (PWR) When lit, this green LED indicates that the MR-9000TPT is receiving power. The On/Off switch is located on the back of the unit, next to the power cord connection.
  • Page 20 USING LANVIEW Receive (RECEIVE) This yellow LED flashes when the repeater port receives data from the network. The LED flash is pulse stretched for viewing effect. Collision (COLLISION) This red LED flashes when the repeater port detects a collision condition or a jabber packet on the network. The flash frequency may increase as network traffic increases since more collisions are likely to occur.
  • Page 21: Power Supply Cord

    POWER SUPPLY CORD The mains cord used with this equipment must be a 2 conductor plus ground type with minimum 0.75 mm square conductors and must incorporate a standard IEC appliance coupler on one end and a mains plug on the other end which is suitable for the use and application of the product and that is approved for use in the country of application.
