If the Power light glows steadily green, the Gateway is receiving power and fully operational. When the Power light flashes rapidly, the Gateway is initializing.

DSL Light The DSL light illuminates when the Gateway is connected to a DSL line. Internet Light When the Internet light glows steadily, the Gateway is connected to the DSL provider. When it flashes, the Gateway’s built-in DSL modem is training for DSL service. Ethernet Light The Ethernet light illuminates when the Gateway is connected via its Ethernet port.
