The following chart illustrates the sequence of steps and the corresponding 
appearance of the cable modem front panel LED status indicators during power up, 
calibration, and registration on the network when AC power is applied to the cable 
modem. Use this chart to troubleshoot the power up, calibration, and registration 
process of your cable modem.

proceeds immediately to Normal Operations. See Normal Operations (AC Power
