CD (Carrier Detect): The Carrier Detect light is ON when a connection is made with another modem, or when the AT&C0 command is issued.

TD (Transmit Data): This indicator is ON and flashing when the terminal transmits data to the modem.

RD (Receive Data): This indicator is ON and flashing when the terminal receives data from the modem.

AA(Automatic-answer): Lights up when the modem has been set to automatic-answer mode. Also flashes when the modem has detected incoming rings.
