Interpreting the LEDs: ControlNet Network Status
The ControlNet network status LEDs are located on the front of the 1788-CN2FF, beside
the ControlNet BNC connectors, as shown in Figure 1, Item 3. They indicate the state of the
ControlNet connected to the BNC connectors. These LEDs do not reflect anything about
the status of the network access port (NAP). If more than one state is present, the LEDs
always reflect the highest priority status present on the network. Table 7 describes the LED
states and the priority of each status.
