5.5 Per Port LED Pins 
Each port has four LED indicator pins. Each pin may have different indicator meanings as set by pins LEDMode[1:0]. 
All LED statuses are represented as active-low or high depending on input strapping, except Bi-color Link/Act in Bi-color 
LED mode, whose polarity depends on Spd status. 
Those pins which are dual function pins are output for LED or input for strapping. Below are LED descriptions only.

100Mb/s. Blinking every 120ms when the port is transmitting or 
receiving in 10Mb/s. 
LEDMode[1:0]=10 -> Bi-color Link/Active: polarity depends on Spd 
status. See Figure2 and Table1.
