LED Indicators

Link Indicator (green, top): This LED monitors 10Base-T and 100Base-TX con-
nections. This LED lights to indicate a successful network connection, and remains
steady if the connection is stable. If this indicator is off, the cable connection be-
tween the hub and the computer may be faulty or the driver configuration may be
faulty.
Activity Indicator (yellow): This LED lights when there are network packets sent or
received through the RJ45 port. The rate of flashing is proportional to the amount of
network traffic. If this is off, the computer is not sending or receiving network data.
Speed Indicator (green, bottom): This LED lights (On) when connection is made
to a 100Base-TX host. If Off, the network connection is operating at 10Mbps.
Installation
Connect the Network Cable
Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) - Connect a single network cable to the RJ45 connector.
For 100BASE-TX, your network cable must be category 5 (not category 3), twisted-
pair wiring with RJ45 connectors. If you plan on running the interface at 100 Mbps, it
must be connected to a 100BASE-TX hub (not a 100BASE-T4 hub). For 10BASE-T,
use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring.
