Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Router

The Front Panel

The Router’s LEDs, Ethernet ports, and Reset button are located on the front panel of the Router.

LEDs

DIAG

Orange. The DIAG LED lights up when the system is not ready. The LED turns off when
the system is ready.

System

Green. The System LED lights up when the Router is powered on. When the LED is
flashing, the Router is running a diagnostic test.

LAN/Act (1-13)

Green. Each LAN/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router
is connected to a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13). If the LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over that
port.

LAN/Act LEDs 9-13 and Internet/Act LEDs 3-7 represent the dual-function ports, which
can be used as LAN or Internet ports. These are LAN ports 9-13 (white print) or Internet
ports 3-7 (dark print) on the Router’s front panel.

Internet/Act (1-7)

Green. Each Internet/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the
Router is connected to an Internet device, such as a cable or DSL modem, through the
corresponding port. If the LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving
data over that port.
