Understanding the LEDs

On each side of the LCD, NetTool has a pair of LED
indicators (Figure 1-3). These LEDs combine to give you
immediate insight and at-a-glance information about your
network environment. The top pair of LEDs provides link,
collision, and error information while the bottom pair
indicates utilization levels.
