Interpreting the LED Indicators
The LED indicators are used to display two different types of status information. If the
alphanumeric display shows a port number, the LED indicators display serial port sta-
tus information and the labels
above
the LEDs apply. If the alphanumeric display
shows
EA
, the LED indicators display Ethernet activity and the labels
below
the LEDs
apply. If the alphanumeric display shows
AC
or
PU
, the LED indicators do not dis-
play data.
Serial port status
You can display the status of a serial port by pressing either of the pushbuttons until
the port number appears on the alphanumeric display. The LED indicators then pro-
vide RS-232 line status information (in a similar way to a breakout box) and flow con-
trol information, as follows:
