Front Panel Description
The front panel of your cable modem gateway provides status lights that indicate how well and at what state your
cable modem gateway is operating. After the cable modem gateway is successfully registered on the network, the
POWER
and
CABLE
status indicators illuminate continuously to show that the cable modem is active and fully
operational. The Ethernet, USB, HPNA, and Wireless indicators blink rapidly when data is being transferred on
the corresponding interface.
See the Front Panel Status Indicator table, in the
Frequently Asked Questions
section, later in this guide,
for more information on front panel status indicator functions.
The following illustration describes these front panel status indicators.
