PWR

GREEN

Power is applied to the unit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

OFF

Power is not applied to the unit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet Port

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LINK/

Solid GREEN

A link has been established on the port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinking GREEN

Network traffic is being transmitted and/or received.

 

 

ACT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OFF

A link has not been established.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

100M

Solid GREEN

Port is linked at 100 Mbps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

OFF

Port is linked at 10 Mbps when LINK/ACT LED is solid or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

blinking GREEN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coaxial VDSL LINE Port

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SCBR/

Solid GREEN

Unit is configured as a Subscriber Unit (SCBR).

 

 

 

 

 

 

OFF

Unit is configured as a Provider Unit (PROV).

 

 

PROV

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slow Blinking

VDSL is idle when blinking occurs approximately

 

 

 

GREEN

1 time/second.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fast Blinking

VDSL is in the training or handshake mode when the blinking

 

 

 

GREEN

occurs approximately 3 times/second.

 

 

LINK

 

 

 

 

Solid GREEN

VDSL has established a connection with its link partner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rapid Blinking

VDSL activity is occurring when the blinking occurs

 

 

 

GREEN

approximately 6 times/second.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OFF

VDSL link is not established.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a VDSL link is established, the Rate LED indicates the

 

 

 

 

data rate being received on the BNC port. It will continuously

 

 

RATE

Blinking GREEN

blink a set number of times in a set time interval. Each “blink”

 

 

 

 

represents approximately 10 Mbps of VDSL line rate (e.g.,

 

 

 

 

six “blinks” represents a VDSL line rate of 60 Mbps). The

 

 

 

 

data rates on both the Provider unit and Subscriber unit are

 

 

 

 

approximately the same when configured for the SYM

 

 

 

 

(symmetrical) mode and differ significantly when both are

 

 

 

 

configured for the ASYM (asymmetrical) mode. See“VDSL
