Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, the
Router is booting up, running a system self-test, or upgrading its firmware.
Ethernet 1-3 Green. The Ethernet LED serves two purposes. If the LED is solidly lit, the Router is
connected to a device through the corresponding port (Ethernet 1, 2, or 3). If the LED is
flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over that port.
Phone 1-2 Green. The Phone LED is solidly lit when a telephone or fax machine has a registered
connection to your Internet phone line through the corresponding port (Phone 1 or Phone 2).
(The connection is registered if your Internet phone service account is active.) This LED is
not lit when there is no registered connection. It flashes when the phone is being used or an
incoming call has been detected.
