This lamp indicates the status of the chosen adapter. It shows, how far the actual settings agree with the Windows-settings. Following conditions are possible :

	If the lamp is grey, no informations about the actual adapter could be found. Please contact technical support.
	If it is orange, the actual choosen adapter has no bindings to the TCP/IP stack. This can be happen, if the adapter is used in a homogenous NetBEUI environment.
	A green lamp indicates a binding to the TCP/IP stack and that all settings agree with the Windows-settings for this adapter.
	The lamp becomes red, if the adapter has bindings to TCP/IP, but at least one setting doesn't agree with the Windows-setting for this adapter.

The button "Restore" loads the settings assigned by Windows to this adapter. All changes made will be discarded.

The button "Help" calls this help-site.
