Chapter 1 Introduction

Getting to Know the Modem

This section contains a quick description of the Modem’s lights, ports, etc.

The Modem has several indicator lights (LEDs) on its front panel and a series of

ports on its rear panel.

Front Panel

The front panel of the Modem features eight lights: Power, DSL, Internet,

Ethernet (4), and Wireless.

Power Light

The Power light displays the Modem’s current status. If the Power light glows

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 glows

red when the Power cord is plugged in, the Modem has suffered a critical error

and technical support should be contacted.

DSL Light

The DSL light illuminates when the Modem is connected to a DSL line and the

unit is able to synchronize to the DSL signal from the ISP. When it flashes, the

Modem’s built-in DSL modem is training for the DSL service.
