4. If this still does not work, press the reset button for 10 seconds. This will place the gateway into
its factory default state. Go through the above procedures again.
5. Make sure NAT is enabled for your connection. If NAT is disabled the ADSL Router will not
route frames correctly (except in Bridge connection).
The DSL Link LED continues to blink but does not go solid
1. This means that the DSL line is trying to train but for some reason it cannot establish a valid
connection. The main cause of this is that you are too far away from the central office. Contact
your DSL service provider for further assistance.
2. Verify that the phone line is connected directly to the wall and to the line input on the ADSL
Router.
3. Make sure that for every parallel phone line connected to telephone or fax to install with a micro
filter.
The DSL Link LED is always off
1. Make sure you have DSL service. You should get some kind of information from your ISP that
states that DSL service is installed. You can usually tell if the service is installed by listening to
the phone line; you will hear some high-pitched noise. If you do not hear high-pitched noise,
contact your ISP.
2. Verify that the phone line is connected directly to the wall and to the line input on the ADSL
Router. If the phone line is connected to the phone side of the ADSL Router or you have a
splitter installed on the phone line, the DSL light will not come on.
