Turn-Up and Operation
4.1 Connecting the Power Supply Convertor
The protective ground connection to the DSL Modem must always be
made via the power supply convertor. To turn on the DSL Modem,
insert the power supply convertor into the Power connection and
then plug the power supply into a powered 120 vac wall outlet. The
Power connection is located on the back panel of the DSL Modem.
The Power Supply Convertor is included in the DSL Modem package.
4.2 Starting the Modem
Once the modem has power, it will then perform several self-tests.
The POWER, MODEM, and DATA lights are on.
Note:
If the POWER light is blinking, this indicates a failure has been
detected during the self-test. Contact the customer support center.
When the ADSL link between the DSL Modem and the telephone
company is established, the telephone company checks the software
version against the DSL Modem. When this is happening, the
POWER light is on and the MODEM light blinks.
If the software versions are incompatible, the DSL Modem will
automatically receive a software upgrade of the appropriate version.
During a software upgrade, the POWER light stays on and the DATA
and MODEM lights blink. The software upgrade is complete and the
modem is operating at efficient capacity when the POWER,
MODEM, and DATA lights are on.
To determine what the operating speed is on the modem, use the
follow guidelines.
•
If the POWER and MODEM lights are on and the DATA light is
blinking, then the modem is connected and communicating with
the phone company, but is operating at a reduced speed.
•
If the POWER, MODEM, and DATA lights are on, then the
modem is connected and communicating with the phone
company, and is operating at full speed.
