Chapter 4: Getting to Know the Router

The Router’s LEDs are located on the front panel of the Router.

Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, 
the Router is running a diagnostic test.

Red. The Diag LED lights up when the system is not ready. The LED goes off when the 
system is ready. The Diag LED blinks during Firmware upgrades.

Green. The IPS LED lights up when the IPS function is enabled. If the LED is off, then IPS 
functions are disabled. If the IPS LED is flashing green, then an external attack has 
been detected. If the IPS LED is flashing red, an internal attack has been detected.

Green. The Internet LED lights up the appropriate LED depending upon the speed of the 
device attached to the Internet port. If the Router is connected to a cable or DSL 
modem, typically the 10 LED will be the only LED lit up. Flashing indicates activity.

Green. For each port, there are three LEDs. If the corresponding LED is continuously lit, 
the Router is connected to a device at the speed indicated through the corresponding 
port (1, 2, 3, or 4). If the LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data 
over that port.
