Power LED
• Solid Green = Power ON
• No Light = No power

Ready LED [Shows sync and modem diagnostic status]
• Slow Flashing Green = Power ON and passed power-up diagnostics (1 flash/sec) No Sync. Bad news.
• Moderate Flashing Green = Power ON and attempting synchronization (2 flashes/sec) The modem is attempting to sync
• Solid Green = Power ON and synchronized with the DSLAM at the Central Office ; Good news! You're synced with the DLSAM!
• Solid Red = Hardware power-up in progress
• Blinking Red = Unit failed power-up diagnostic. Modem is defective or firmware is FUBAR'd; bad news
NOTE:It is possible to hard-reset this modem if you are brave enough to open it up and short 2 traces on the circuit board. I successfully "revived" my "FUBAR" WireSpeed using the technique I've documented at /forum/remark,7089129~root=equip,36~mode=flat

• Alternating Red/Green = Modem diagnostic failed. Bad News indicates hardware/firmware problem.
• No Light = No power

Link LED [Shows NIC link status]
• Solid Green = Link established
• No Light = No 10BaseT link ; *Note: The modem doesn't necessarily need to be plugged into a NIC to sync.*

Activity LED
• Pulsing Yellow = Data being transmitted. Pulses should match the reception or transmission of Ethernet data.
• No Light = No data being transmitted on Ethernet interface
