Initial Power Up, Calibration, and Registration (AC Power applied)

The following chart illustrates the sequence of steps and the corresponding appearance of the residential gateway front panel LED status indicators during power up, calibration, and registration on the network when AC power is applied to the residential gateway. Use this chart to troubleshoot the power up, calibration, and registration process of your residential gateway.

Note: After the residential gateway completes Step 11 (Telephone Registration Complete), the modem proceeds immediately to Normal Operations. See Normal Operations (AC Power applied) (on page 101).
