Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Router
The Front Panel
Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports
The Front Panel
The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.
Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, the
Router is booting up or running a system self-test.
Ethernet 1-4 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, 3, or 4). 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 AT&T 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.
Internet Green. The Internet LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL modem.
If the LED is flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the Internet port.
