V72 OPERATION DIAGNOSTIC LED DESCRIPTION
LED Description
1 Active Connection. This LED will remain illuminated for about 30
seconds after the last network connection is terminated.
3 Duplicate IP addresses--another mode on the subnet has the same IP
address
4
(flashing)
Cabling Error. This LED will flash continuously when a transmission
attempt fails from a cable or a connection malfunction. Once this
condition is detected, the module will periodically attempt to transmit
on the link and this LED will flash as long as the transmission attempt
fails. When the cable problem is corrected, this indication will cease
with no further intervention by the user. However, connections may
have been lost and will need to be checked and reconnected if
necessary.
INTERACTIVE DIAGNOSTICS
The interactive diagnostic may be accessed either through the Service Port via the V72's
configuration menu, choice "7" or through a TELNET session, by entering the
command "$BTS"<CR>, where "$BT" is the module select code. In either case, the
user will then be presented with a menu similar to:
