CHAPTER 8: TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter provides troubleshooting information for the NETGEAR GA302T

Copper Gigabit Adapter.

Checking the Port LEDs

GA302T Copper Gigabit Adapter

The front panel of the GA302T has four LEDs: one for each port speed option

(10Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000Mbps) to indicate which link is active, and one LED

for data transfer status (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-5).

Before the port LEDs can provide troubleshooting information, the card must be

connected to the network (see Chapter 2), and the network drivers for your particu-

lar operating system must be installed (see Chapter 3 through Chapter 7).

1. Verify that the card driver software has been installed and that the card is

connected to a network.

2. Verify that the card status LEDs operate as described in the Table 8-1.
