Port Status LEDs

See chapter 5, "Troubleshooting", for information using these LEDs to diagnose errors.
Net Fail (yellow) is ON if a failure has occurred that is associated with the network or the LAN
ports. (There is one Net Fail LED for each network port.) If this LED is ON during a self-test,
this most likely indicates an external loopback error. This could be caused by a bad or
improperly connected LAN cable or transceiver.
If this LED goes ON during normal operation, this indicates that the bridge has lost the carrier
signal on the indicated port. This could be caused by a LAN cable or transceiver becoming
disconnected or inoperative.
Transmit (green) flashes ON for each packet that is transmitted. The frequency of flashes
indicates the amount of traffic. In heavy traffic, it may look like it is ON all the time.
Receive (green) flashes ON for each packet that is received. The frequency of flashes indicates
the amount of traffic. In heavy traffic, it may look like it is ON all the time.
ThinLAN Enabled or AUI Enabled (green) is ON indicating which of the Port 1 connectors is
active. During its power-on self-test, the bridge automatically detects which Port 1 connector is
being used. Only one of these connectors can be used at a time to connect the bridge to the
LAN.

Reset and Clear Buttons

Two buttons for resetting the bridge are located on the back near the LEDs. These two buttons
have different effects on the bridge. Their functions are described in chapter 4, "Operation",
under "Resetting the Bridge."
The button labeled Reset protrudes slightly from the back of the bridge and you can press it
with your finger. The button labeled Clear is recessed and you must use a pointed,
non-conductive tool (like a toothpick) to press it.
Caution
The Clear button should be used with care. When pressed by itself, it erases the
bridge access password (if one has been configured). See "Clearing the
Password" in chapter 4. When used simultaneously with the Reset button, it can
erase all changes you have made to the bridge's configuration. See "Resetting
the Bridge" in chapter 4.
