Activating the
EMTA
After installing the EMTA and turn it on for the first time (and each time the modem is
reconnected to the power), it goes through several steps before it can be used. Each of these
steps is represented by a different pattern of flashing lights on the front of the modem.
Note: All indicators flash once before the initialization sequence.
If all of the lights are flashing sequentially, it means the EMTA is automatically updating its
system software. Please wait for the lights to stop flashing. You cannot use your modem during
this time. Do not remove the power supply or reset the EMTA during this process.
To make sure that you can access the Internet successfully, please check the following first.
1.
Make sure the connection (through Ethernet) between the EMTA and your computer is
OK.
2.
Make sure the TCP/IP protocol is set properly.
