The Network Access indicator is useful for confirming that a specific drive

The Active Sockets indicator is helpful in determining how many TCP/IP 
sockets are currently allocated to Ethernet clients (masters).  As indicated in 
Figure 8, the number of currently-allocated sockets can be determined by 
counting the number of concurrent short blinks.  Each stream of short blinks is 
terminated by 2s of continuous off time, after which the next stream of short 
blinks begins.
