5. Monitoring the DSL Router
5-2 November 2003 6300-A2-GB20-10
LED Status
The Hotwire DSL Router’s front panel includes LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that
provide status on the router and its interfaces. In Table 5-1, Front Panel LEDs, the
Condition in BOLD shows what the LED should display after a successful
power-on self-test.
For the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router, the DSL LED is replaced by the LINE and
TX/RX LEDs. Check the LINE LED to determine status of the connection to the
central office; check the TX/RX LED to determine status of data transfer on the
DSL Link.
