Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Gateway is pow-
ered on.
Diag Green. The Diag LED flashes when the Gateway is booting
up. If this flashes or stays solid after the bootup phase, the
Gateway may be malfunctioning. See “Appendix A:
Troubleshooting” if you encounter this problem.
Link/Act Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED
is continuously lit, the Gateway is successfully connected to
a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3 or 4). If the
LED is flickering, the Gateway is actively sending or receiv-
ing data over that port.
Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this
LED is lit up continuously, the connection made through the
corresponding port is running in Full Duplex mode. If the
LED flickers, the connection is experiencing collisions.
Infrequent collisions are normal.
100 Green. The 100 LED lights up when a successful 100Mbps
connection is made through the corresponding port.
If this LED does not light up, then your connection speed is
10 Mbps.
WLAN Link Green. This LED is solidly lit when a wireless PC Card is
inserted and functioning in the Gateway.
WLAN Act Green. This LED flashes when there is wireless activity.
