The SmartAX MT882 ADSL Modem has 5 lights on its front panel which are useful in diagnosing problems when connecting to the internet.
Here are what those lights mean
| Light | Colour | State | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power | None | Off | Modem Off |
| Power | Green | Solid | Modem On |
| Link | None | Off | No ADSL Signal being received |
| Link | Green | Flashing | Have ADSL signal but attempting to Sync |
| Link | Green | Solid | Have ADSL signal and have attained Sync |
| Link | Amber | Flashing | Attempting to login to broadband |
| Link | Amber | Solid | Have signal, sync acheived and logged in ... ie ONLINE |
| Act | None | Off | Broadband connection idle |
| Act | Green | Flashing | Broadband connection in use |
| LAN | None | Off | LAN connection not active |
| LAN | Green | Solid | LAN Connection at 10Mbps |
| LAN | Amber | Solid | LAN Connection at 100Mbps |
| LAN | Any | Flashing | LAN Connection in use at speed indicated by colour |
| USB | None | Off | USB Connection not active |
| USB | Green | Solid | USB Connected to computer (or ethernet mode with G.dmt) |
| USB | Green | Flashing | USB Connection in use |
Note: NEVER connect both the USB and Ethernet cables to the same PC as this may terminally damage the device.
Note: When using an Ethernet cable and the modem has "G.dmt" or "Multimode" mode as its ADSL connection method then the USB light may come on This behaviour has been observed on models with the Batch ID RCC1P2.021.E3755 (reported on the System Information page). Although confusing there appears to be no other side effects and the unit works fine.
