1.3.2 Auto-Sensing 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet Port
Status LED
There are two port status LEDs on both sides (yellow LED on the
left and green LED on the right) of each 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet port
of S3100 series. They indicate the active, link, duplex, and speed
statuses of the port.
In addition, there are an A/L LED and a D/S LED on each model
of S3100 series. These two LEDs indicate the mode of the port status
LEDs. When the A/L LED is on, the port status LEDs respectively
indicate the active status and link status of ports. When the D/S LED is
on, the port status LEDs respectively indicate the duplex status and
speed status of ports. Either the A/L LED or the D/S LED is on at a
specific time. For details, see Table 1-3.

you press the Mode button, the D/S LED will be on. After that, if you
press the Mode button again within 45 seconds, the A/L LED will be on
again. Otherwise, the A/L LED will automatically be on 45 seconds
later.
