Checking the communication status
with the STATUS lamp
If the keep alive function is set to valid in each connection
setting, you can check whether communication with any
connected equipment is active or not only by glancing the
STATUS lamp of the product.

This is convenient as you can check the communication
status without viewing the top page of the “Basic
configuration page”.
Tip
• When you configure a provider connection or VPN connection
(IPsec, L2TP/IPsec, PPTP LAN-to-LAN connection, or
IPIP tunnel) from “Basic configuration page”, the keep alive
function is set to “Valid” on the initial setup screen.
• To check whether the keep alive function is set to valid or not,
view the setup screen of each connection.
Example of setup screen for the “Terminal broadband
connection over PPPoE” connection
When the STATUS lamp
lights up
In a connection setting where the keep alive function is set
to valid, communication with any connected equipment
is inactive.
Note
• The keep alive function takes time to detect an inactive state
of communication. Accordingly, communication with a
connected equipment may not be available even when the
STATUS lamp does not light up.
• The STATUS lamp also lights up when you update the
firmware revision using the DOWNLOAD button. For
information about behavior of the product when you upgrade
the firmware using the DOWNLOAD button, please refer to
“Upgrading the firmware using the DOWNLOAD button”
When the problem is resolved
The STATUS lamp goes off.
