[WISPA] Ethernet LEDs

2010-03-11 Thread Cameron Crum
This may be a little out there, but does anyone know what causes the link light to show on an ethernet jack when the cable is plugged in? Is it as simple as just attaching an led to one of the signal wires, or is there some logic in there. Just curious.

Logic. I have a picture of this loopback thing I made on my keyring which will take ~1 lifetimes to upload from my cell phone. Using it you can plug it into something and it should give it link. Works on anything except some Sun stuff (configuration dependent) IME. Josh Luthman Office:

General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ethernet LEDs It is all the used pairs. The unused are not part of the circuit. The easy way to test this is make some patch cables. Leave out a wire. We have probably all seen patch cables where the unused wires are not even in the connector. --- Justin
