2.“PADI sent SERVICE_NAME”.

The router broadcast a PADI packet with a Service-Name tag to seek Access Concentrator. The SERVICE_NAME was configured at the Primary Setup page. In most case, the Service Name is not necessary and has to be configured as null string.

1.The connection between the router and DSL/Cable mode is not correct. Action: check the LINK status both on the modem and the router.

2.The configured Service Name is not correct. Action: check whether your ISP requires you to configure the Service Name.

3.The Access Concentrator was shut down. Action: try again later.

4.The WAN port of the router is damaged.

•0x0201 Service-Name-Error

•0x0202 AC-System-Error

•0x0203 Generic-Error

5.“PADR sent”.
