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 flashes rapidly, the Modem is initializing. If the Power light is not illuminated when the Power cord is plugged in and the Power switch is turned on, 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. When it flashes, the Modem is training for your DSL service.
