2 Checking the Connections
When you turn on the Prestige,
•The PWR light turns on if the power is okay.
•The ALM light is off normally, and it turns on if there is
a hardware error. The ALM light also blinks once if the
VDSL connection is dropped (for any reason).
•The VDSL light blinks slowly while it is waiting for a
VDSL connection, and it turns on when the VDSL connection is established. The light blinks quickly when it
is transmitting or receiving.
•The LAN lights turn on if the corresponding LAN ports
are properly connected to computers, and they blink
when the corresponding LAN port is transmitting or
receiving.
