the hub is present.

Flashes each time a
collision is detected
on the network.
Collisions are part

operation.
Port Status LEDs
green/yellow
Indicates the status of each port. If the LED
is green, the link between the port and the
next piece of network equipment is OK.

The Coaxial port LED can only be yellow or
off. It is yellow if the port has partitioned.
