Basic Functioning; Power Led Not On; Test Led Never Turns Off - NETGEAR FVS318G Reference Manual

Basic Functioning

After you turn on power to the VPN firewall, you can verify that the correct sequence of
events occurs.
To verify the power-on sequence of events:

1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on.
2. After approximately two minutes, verify the following:
a. The Test LED is no longer lit.
b. The left LAN port LEDs are lit for any local ports that are connected.
c. The left WAN port LEDs are lit for any WAN ports that are connected.
If a port's left LED is lit, a link was established to the connected device. If a port is
connected to a 1000 Mbps device, verify that the port's right LED is green. If the port
functions at 100 Mbps, the right LED is amber. If the port functions at 10 Mbps, the right
LED is off.
If any of these conditions do not occur, see the appropriate following section:

Power LED Not On

•
LAN or WAN Port LEDs Not On
•
Power LED Not On
If the Power and other LEDs are off when your VPN firewall is turned on, make sure that the
power cord is correctly connected to your VPN firewall and that the power supply adapter is
correctly connected to a functioning power outlet.
If the error persists, a hardware problem occurred. Contact NETGEAR technical support.
Test LED Never Turns Off
When the VPN firewall is powered on, the Test LED turns on for approximately two minutes
and then turns off when the VPN firewall completes its initialization. If the Test LED remains
on, a fault occurred within the VPN firewall.
If all LEDs are still on more than several minutes minute after power-up, do the following:
• Turn off the power, and turn it on again to see if the VPN firewall recovers.
• Reset the VPN firewall's configuration to factory default settings.
Doing so sets the VPN firewall's IP address to 192.168.1.1. This procedure is described

If the error persists, it is possible that a hardware problem occurred. Contact NETGEAR
