The CLI provides extensive configuration and monitoring

Operation

After you have properly connected your HomeConnect
ADSL Modem Ethernet, and your new DSL link has been
activated by your Network Service Provider, all you need to
do is enjoy the high-speed DSL access to your network.
There are no controls or adjustments to make. Just make
sure that power is provided to your ADSL Modem Ethernet
at all times, and that adequate ventilation is maintained.
The unit will take one minute to boot up when you power
it on. If power to the unit is interrupted, the ADSL Modem
Ethernet will automatically reconnect to the network when
power is restored. The connection process is not
instantaneous, however, and it may take several minutes
for your service-provider's central-office equipment to
perform its periodic check of your line and then do the
necessary "handshaking" to restore full communication.
LED Indicators
There are four indicator lights (LEDs) on the front of the
ADSL Modem Ethernet. The Alert and ADSL status can light
red, orange, or green, depending on the status of the unit.
The PWR and LAN Status LEDs can only light green.
