Status lights

The indicator lights (one green and one orange) provide you with important information on the operations of the network interface.

The green light is a data transmission light that flashes when the host interface receives data.

The orange light indicates whether the network interface is connected to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. The light is on when the connection is 100Base-TX, or off when the connection is 10Base-T.
