KNOWING YOUR BELKIN ROUTER

4

The Router has been designed to be placed on a desktop vertically or
horizontally, or it may be mounted to a wall. The slim design minimizes the
desktop space required when placed vertically. All of the cables exit from the rear
of the Router for better organization and utility. The LED indicators are easily
visible on the front of the Router to provide you with information about network
activity and status.

1. Power/Ready LED

When you apply power to the Router or restart it, a short period of time
elapses while the Router boots up. During this time, the “Power/Ready” LED
blinks. When the Router has completely booted up, the Power/Ready LED
becomes a SOLID light, indicating the Router is ready for use.

2. LAN Port-Status LEDs

These LEDs are labeled 1–4 and correspond to the numbered ports on the rear
of the Router. When a computer is properly connected to one of the LAN ports
on the rear of the Router, the LED will light. GREEN means a 10Base-T device
is connected, AMBER means a 100Base-Tx device is connected. When
information is being sent over the port, the LED blinks rapidly.
