connect computers and other local network devices.
Dual Function Ports (RV016): Use these ports as LAN ports (numbered 9-13)
or configure them for use as Internet ports (numbered 3-7). The status is shown
on the corresponding LEDs: LAN/Act 9-13 or Internet/Act 3-7.

Internet port is configured as a DMZ. This LED is unlit when the port is
configured as a secondary Internet connection.
DMZ (RV016): The LED is steady orange when the router is connected to a
DMZ host through the DMZ port. It flashes to indicate network activity over the
port.
1-4 (RV042), 1-8 (RV082), or LAN/Act 1-8 (RV016): The LED is steady green
when a device is connected to the corresponding port. It flashes to indicate
network activity over the port.
Dual Function Ports LAN/Act 9-13 and Internet/Act 3-7 (RV016): For each
dual function port, only one LED is lit, indicating the current port function (LAN
