Link/Activity LED
This LED turns solid green to indicate that it is
linked and properly connected.
The green LED blinks to indicate the embedded
NIC (network adapter) is active and transferring
data to/from the NIC. The rate of blinking varies
directly with network traffic.
10/100 Mbps LED
This yellow LED turns on to indicate when the
NIC is supporting transfers of 100 Mbps (million
bits per second).
When it is off, the NIC is supporting transfers of
10 Mbps.
