5. Monitoring the DSL Router

LED Status

The Hotwire DSL Router’s front panel includes LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that provide status on the router and its interfaces. In Table 5-1, Front Panel LEDs, the Condition in BOLD shows what the LED should display after a successful power-on self-test.

For the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router, the DSL LED is replaced by the LINE and TX/RX LEDs. Check the LINE LED to determine status of the connection to the central office; check the TX/RX LED to determine status of data transfer on the DSL Link.
