Network LEDs
The ShoreGear-T1 network LEDs (LAN1 and LAN2) indicate the speed at which the
switch is communicating with the network and whether there is network activity. The
network LED descriptions are as follows:
Monitor and Telco LEDs
The Monitor and Telco LEDs indicate line coding, network framing, and loopback
status. These LEDs are color coded—green, yellow, and red. The Monitor and Telco
LED descriptions follow.
NOTE Telco and Monitor LED alarms and errors are logged as switch events in
ShoreWare Director’s event log.
6 flashes—Using a previously stored IP address. A BOOTP/
DHCP transaction was attempted, but the BOOTP/DHCP server
did not respond. The switch continues to use the IP address
stored in nonvolatile memory until it receives a valid response.
If the switch receives a response that provides a different IP
address, it reboots using the new IP address. If the switch
receives a response that matches the IP address stored in
nonvolatile memory, it continues operation, and the power LED
stops flashing. If the problem persists, check the BOOTP/DHCP
server and network configuration.
Link/
Activity
When lit, this LED indicates that the switch is connected to an Ethernet
network.
This LED indicates network activity, as follows:
• When flashing, network activity is detected.
• When on (not flashing), heavy network activity is detected.
• When off, network activity is not detected.
NOTE This LED is not directly related to any particular switch’s individual
network activity. For example, if you have three switches that are
connected to the same hub, and one switch’s Traffic LED shows
activity, the other switches will indicate the same.
100M
• When green, the switch is connected to a 100BaseT network.
• When off, the switch is connected to a 10BaseT network.
• When red, this LAN connection is in standby mode.
Line
Coding
This LED indicates line coding status, as follows:
• When green, the line coding signal is good.
• When yellow, bipolar violations (BPV) are being received at one
second intervals.
• When red, a loss of signal (LOS) has occurred.
• When flashing red, loopback is active (local or CO).
• When off, the switch has no power.
