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.
