Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports
The Front Panel
The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.
Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, the
Router is booting up, running a system self-test, or upgrading its firmware.
Ethernet 1-3 Green. The Ethernet LED serves two purposes. If the LED is solidly lit, the Router is connected
to a device through the corresponding port (Ethernet 1, 2, or 3). If the LED is flashing, the
Router is sending or receiving data over that port.
Phone 1-2 Green. The Phone LED is solidly lit when a telephone or fax machine has a registered
connection to your Internet phone service provider through the corresponding port (Phone 1 or
Phone 2). (The connection is registered if your Internet phone service account is active.) This
LED is not lit when there is no registered connection. It flashes when the phone is being used
or an incoming call has been detected.
Internet Green. The Internet LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL modem.
If the LED is flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the Internet port.
