The following table describes the possible LED behaviours and meanings on the GW1000
and GW1000M Series router.
Booting
The router takes approximately 2 minutes to boot up. During this time,
the power LED flashes.
Other LEDs display different diagnostic patterns during boot up.
Booting is complete when the power LED stops flashing and stays on
steady.
PWR/CONFIG
LED
Off
No power/boot loader does not exist.
Double flash
Unit is booting from power on.
Flashing slowly
Unit is in recovery mode.
Flashing quickly
Unit is in factory configuration.
Solid on
Unit has completed booting up process and is in either config 1 or
config2.
SIM LEDs
Off
Not selected or SIM not inserted.
Flashing
SIM selected and data connection is being established.
Solid on
SIM selected and registered on the network.
Signal LEDs
Both LEDs off
Not connected or signal strength <= -113dBm.
Left LED on
Right LED off
Connected and signal strength <= -89dBm.
Left LED off
Right LED on
Connected and signal strength between -89dBm and -69dBm.
Both LEDs on
Connected and signal strength >-69dBm.
WiFi LEDs
Off
WiFi not enabled.
Flashing
Data activity on WiFi interface.
Solid on
WiFi is enabled.
Table 6: LED behaviour and descriptions
Note: when a data connection does not exist, none of the signal LEDs will light
regardless of signal strength.

GW1000 and GW1000M Series Ethernet port LED behaviour
The Ethernet port has two physical LEDs, one is green and one is amber. When looking
at the port the green LED is on the left and is the only active LED.

Link LED
(green)
Off
No physical Ethernet link detected
On
