4Trouble-shooting
Most common factors that cause an adapter to fail are
configuration conflicts and cabling problems. PCI card
shouldn’t have any conflict problem due the plug and
play specification.
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first
make sure the appropriate driver is loaded, the proper
cable is connected to the adapter port and the hub
complies with the adapter specification, such as
10Mbps 10BaseT, then check the LED.
The adapter provides two LEDs to indicate network
status.
nLink
Monitors the data link status on the cable. It turns ON
when there is data link, and OFF when there is bad
connection.
nActivity
Blinks when there is data transmission/reception.
