Power On Your Prestige

At this point, you should have connected the console port, the LAN port, the cable port and the power port to
the appropriate devices or lines. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
When connected and powered on, the cable router executes an automatic installation procedure:
1. Scans and locks on to the service provider's downstream frequency.
2. Obtains timing, signal, power level, authentication, addressing, and other operational parameters from the
CATV headend.
3. Downloads its configuration file and is then operational.
During the initialization, the LEDs on the cable router turns on:
1. The Power LED should be ON.
2. The CABLE LED flashes on a 2 seconds on/off cyclic duration while scanning downstream channel and
then on a 1 second on/off cyclic duration when it has locked on to the downstream channel and is
communicating with headend CMTS. Once the cable connection is complete, it will stay ON.
3. The DATA LED flashes when the cable downstream, cable upstream, or LAN is receiving and
transmitting data. It is OFF when the connection is idle.
4. The LAN10M LED or LAN100M LED (depending on the Ethernet speed connection) will be ON if
Ethernet link is successful and flashing while sending/receiving.
