Run and Auto Reset Modes

Run mode is the normal operating state of the NIC. Auto Reset
mode is entered when the watchdog timer is triggered and the Print
Server resets itself. In either mode, the STAT LED flashes at a
varying rate, depending on whether the unit IP address is
configured. The Run Mode and Auto Reset Mode indicator
descriptions are given in Table 1.

Network Indicator

The NET LED displays the status of the network link. When the
NET LED is on, link integrity is confirmed. The NET LED flashes off
for 1/3 second when a data packet is being transferred. When the
NET LED is off, the network connection has been severed.
