Chapter 1 Introduction
Getting to Know the Modem
This section contains a quick description of the Modem’s lights, ports, etc.
The Modem has several indicator lights (LEDs) on its front panel and a series of
ports on its rear panel.
Front Panel
The front panel of the Modem features five lights (LEDs): Power, DSL, Internet,
Ethernet, and USB.
Power Light
The Power light displays the Modem’s current status. If the Power light glows
steadily green, the Modem is receiving power and fully operational. When the
Power light is rapidly flashing, the Modem is initializing. If the Power LED glows
red when the Power cord is connected to a known working outlet power, the
Modem has failed to initialize; contact Technical Support.
DSL Light
When the Modem connects to the DSL service, the DSL light will glow solid
green. If the DSL light blinks rapidly, the Modem is in training mode. If the DSL
light blinks slowly, DSL service has been lost; contact the ISP.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port is used to connect computers to the Modem via Ethernet
cable. The Ethernet port is a 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing port, and either a straight-
through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used when connecting to the port.
☞ Note: Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the Modem
only if connecting to a hub/switch that lacks an uplink port.
Reset Switch
Depressing the Reset switch restores the Modem’s factory default settings. To
reset the Modem, depress and hold the Reset switch until the Power light chang-
es from green to orange. When the Power light glows orange, release the Reset
switch (this may take from 4 to 7 seconds). The reset process starts after releasing
the switch.
Power Port
The Power port is used to connect the Power cord to the Modem.
N Warning: Do not unplug the Power cord from the Modem dur-
ing the reset process. Doing so may result in permanent damage
to the Modem.
Power Switch
The Power switch is used to power the Modem on and off.
