Wireless • Solid green indicates that there is wireless activity associated to a specific access point. • Flickering green indicates that there is inbound activity. The flickering of the light is synchronized to the actual data traffic. This indicator lights green when a computer is connected to the USB-PC port.
Navigating the User Interface Figure 2 shows the page when you enter http://gateway.2Wire.net as the URL into a compatible browser on a computer connected to the gateway (refer to Meeting Web Browser Requirements page 2). This page contains six panes. The following section describes each pane that is indicated by the numbered red arrow.
