Getting to Know the 10/100 2-Port
Switched PrintServer (EFSP42)
The Front Panel LEDs (EFSP42)
The 10/100 2-Port Switched PrintServer LEDs
These 3 LEDs apply to the 2-Port Switched PrintServer only (EFSP42).
Link/Act The Link/Act LED lights up a solid green when the
PrintServer is successfully connected to a device through
that port. If this LED is flickering green, the PrintServer is
actively sending or receiving data through that port.
Full/Col The Full/Col LED lights up solid green when a successful
full duplexconnection is made through that port. When this
Full/Col LED is off, then the data is transmitting in half
duplex mode. If the green LED flickers, that connection is
experiencing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal. If
the switch seems to experience excessive collisions, verify
that your network cabling is securely crimped and installed
correctly. If this LED flickers too often, see page 44 for
Troubleshooting.
100 The 100 LED lights up orange when a successful 100Mbps
connection is made through that port. When the 100 LED
is off, then the data transfer rate is 10Mbps.
