AT-2560FX 100 and AT-2560TX 10/100 PCI
24
The AT-2560TX 10/100 PCI has three diagnostic LEDs
above the cable connectors. These lights help indicate if
there’s a problem with the connector, cable, or hub.
The LNK light is ON when the adapter receives a Link
pulse from the hub. If the light is OFF, there may be a bad
connector, bad cable, or problem with the hub. The LNK
light is also OFF when running diagnostics in SETUP.
The ACT light is on when there’s read/write activity on the
network. It doesn’t always mean there is activity on the
adapter. If the ACT light isn’t on, make sure the hub and
network are operating and the drivers are loaded.
The 100 light is on when a 100 Mbps connection is estab-
lished.
