when almost connected), or controller "OFF", or no cable
attached to DSL connector.
Off when the device is powered off; or GE WAN mode is
selected.
DSL ACT On when the DSL interface is up.
Blinking when there is DSL WAN activity (traffic in either
direction).
Faster blinking when there is heavier traffic.
Off when the device is powered off or the DSL WAN
interface is down.
