  Verifying the i3822V and iPSU Installations

Interpreting the i3822V indicators

The following table describes the indicators on the i3822V. The indicators on the 
component behave differently depending on the current state of the gateway.

Note: 

The indicators on the i3822V are not active until you connect the i3822V to the 

power supply unit. For information about installing the power supply unit and 

connecting it to the i3822V, see “Installing the iPSU (Power Supply Unit)” on page 23.

Indicators

Description

POWER

The POWER indicator turns red when the power is first 
applied, and changes to green within two minutes of power 
application. 

Solid green

. The power is on and initialization has been 

completed successfully.

Flashing green

. The iNID is booting.

Red

. A Power-On Self-Test (POST) failure (the device is 

unbootable) or another malfunction has occurred during 
self initialization.

VDSL 1 and VDSL 2

These two indicators flash after 60 seconds of power 
application for one to two minutes and cycle three times.

Solid green

. The broadband connection is trained. 

Flashing green

. The broadband connection is being 

attempted (DSL attempting to synchronize).

Alternating flashing green and steady red

.  The 

broadband connection failed to establish for more than 
three consecutive minutes. This pattern continues until 
the broadband connection is successfully established.

Flashing red

.  There is no DSL signal on the line.

The BROADBAND indicator on the i38HG mirrors one or 
both of the VDSL indicators, whichever is in the “best” 
state.

DATA

Solid green

. A device is connected (such as i38HG).

Flashing green

.  There is inbound activity associated 

with the data port (that is, the green LINE 1 connection). 
The flickering of the light is synchronized to the actual 
data traffic.

Red

. A device failed to be authenticated or successfully 

connected.
