Status LEDs

Power (Green)

The Power LED glows solid during normal operation. At startup, during the POST, the LED blinks once every second. If the POST fails, the unit does not enter normal operation, and the LED blinks once every 0.4 seconds.

DSL (Green)

The DSL LED glows solid while a DSL link is established. While the DSL link is training it blinks once every second.

Link (Green) (E1 only)

Solid green indicates valid E1 framing. Flashing indicates signal being received, but the link has not yet been established.
