Verify the ADSL Connection
Before you continue to the final step, you should make sure that the ADSL connection
has been established. This can be done easily using the Modem’s ADSL connection
monitoring feature described below.
Desktop Monitoring
A new icon will appear in the System Tray of your desktop. These colored arrows will
help you monitor the status of your ADSL connection. The table below summarizes how
to interpret the icon indicator.

establish (and no data is being passed in either

LED Indicators
The other way to verify that the ADSL connection has been established is to view the
ADSL Link indicator on the Modem. This LED will light up when the ADSL connection
has been established. The other LED indicator on the front of the device, the Power
LED will light up when the USB cable is connected to your PC.
