steadily green, the Modem is receiving power and fully operational. When the

Power Light is rapidly flashing, the Modem is initializing. If the Power Light is

not illuminated when the power cord is plugged in, the Modem has suffered a

critical error and technical support should be contacted.

provider. When it flashes, the Modem’s built-in DSL modem is training for
