Interpreting LED Indicators

There are six diagnostic LED indicators provided on the
transceiver to indicate the operation status as below:

LED

Operation status State

Interpretation

Power Power status

On

Transceiver is on.

Off

Transceiver is off.

Link

UTP link status

On

The UTP link is ok or link
test function is disabled.

Off

No UTP link or UTP link is
faulty.

Blink

UTP link is faulty.

TRX

Transmission status Blink

Transmission is in operation.

Off

No transmission.

On

Normal, if large transmission is
in operation.
Problem, if no transmission.

RCV

Receiving status

Blink

Receiving data packet

Off

No packet is being received.

On

Normal, if heavy traffic load.
Normal, if no UTP link.
Problem, if no network traffic.

COL

Collision status

Off

No collision occurs.

Blink

There is presence of collisions.

POL

Polarity reversal

Off

There is no polarity reversal
problem detected on the UTP
cable.

On

Polarity reversal problem
exists on the receiving pair
of the UTP cable.

Wiring the UTP Cable

How to install the UTP cable is determined by the
characteristics of the 10Base-T UTP port of the device
connected at the other end of the cable. The following
figure shows some examples:

Note: The OUT jack of a 10Base-T hub is normally used

for connection to another 10Base-T hub. The
vendor's 10Base-T hub, sometimes, provides a
crossover option to set the jack as an IN jack for
connection to a 10Base-T Ethernet station.

Installation

Attaching to an Ethernet device via an AUI cable
The Ethernet device can be a network interface controller,
wiring concentrator, or repeater that provides an AUI
port. For attaching to such device, an AUI cable of
appropriate length is required. The following figure
illustrates the connection of the transceiver and an
Ethernet device via an AUI cable.

Important:
If the transceiver is attached to an Ethernet repeater, a
10Base-T hub, or a wiring concentrator, the SQE test
function should be disabled.

Connecting to a 10Base-T Ethernet Hub
To connect the transceiver to a 10Base-T hub, follow the
steps:

1. Select an appropriate length UTP cable for the connection.
2. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the RJ45 jack of

the transceiver.

3. Route the free end of the UTP cable to area where the

10Base-T hub is located.

4. Connect the free end of the UTP cable to an IN jack

on the 10Base-T hub.
