Chapter 3: Installation
3.3 Checking the Installation

• For direct connect, if the Host or Link LEDs are permanently off, then the cabling between the Local and Remote Extender may
not be installed properly or is defective.
• For network connect, if the Link LED is blinking, then the network connection between the Local and Remote Extender is not
complete and there may be faulty cabling or network components, misconfigured network components, or the Local and
Remote Extender may need to be re-paired together (see Section 3.5).
