Chapter 2 Cabling the VPN Router and turning the power on 39

Verifying a successful installation

After you connect the gateway to the power source and turn it on, you can verify a successful installation by checking the LEDs on the front panel (Figure 8 on page 40).

The following sequence of LEDs occurs:

1The power LED (the Nortel Networks logo) lights blue.

2As the gateway boots, the Boot/Ready LED lights yellow.

3When the boot process is complete, the Boot/Ready LED lights green, indicating that the gateway is operational.

4The Alert/Fail LED lights yellow because the gateway is not configured.

For a newly installed VPN Router 2700, a yellow Alert/Fail LED does not indicate an alarm condition. After you configure the management IP address on the gateway, the Alert/Fail LED turns off. (See Chapter 3, “Configuring the management IP interface,” on page 51.)

If the LEDs on the front panel light in this sequence, your installation is successful. If the LEDs do not light in this sequence, check that the bezel is on the gateway and that the power cord is properly attached to the power supply (see “Connecting the power cord” on page 38).

If the VPN Router 2700 still does not boot, contact your local Nortel Technical Solutions Center (see “How to get help” on page 17).
