1. HS light is off - Central Office equipment might have not turned on properly. Contact your DSL Service Provider for further assistance.
2. HS light keeps on blinking -
a. Too much noise in your phone line renders the DSL connection unable to
establish. Try the following two methods -
External interference might have caused noise to your DSL line. Try your DSL connection a few minutes later.
