Troubleshooting

The following table explain what the modem's status lights mean:

Power	If the Power light is not on:
	Check the power adapter is plugged in. Check the cable is firmly seated in the back of the modem. Check the plug socket is switched on and working.
DSL	If the DSL light does not light up, or doesn't stop flashing:
	Check your DSL cable connects your modem to the microfilter. Check that your microfilter is connected properly. It is important that you read Guide to fitting Microfilters. Interference caused by other devices on your telephone line are a common cause of problems.
LAN	If the LAN light doesn't light up:
	Check the Ethernet cable is plugged into your modem. Check the Ethernet cable is plugged into a network socket on your computer. Check that the Ethernet cable on your computer is functional.
Status	What the Status light means:
	The status light will flash to indicate that a connection is active. The status light comes on when you first switch the modem on. If the light stays on this means that the modem has failed its internal test and should be restarted.
