Modem Light Status

• Here are a few modems with the meanings of the status lights.

---

Motorola Surfboards (SB)

The ONLINE Light should be solid GREEN if the modem has obtained a valid IP address. Note: SB modems have a standby button. The standby button shuts down the front panel’s LEDs and disconnects communication between cable modem and the devices connected to through it, while remaining active on the cable operators RF network. Make sure that you do not have Standby set, as you will not have an active internet connection.

Toshiba

The CABLE LIGHT should be solid GREEN if it’s registered and ready

Ambit

The SYNC light should be solid GREEN if it has a solid connection with the cable provider.

RCA

The CABLE light should be solid GREEN when synced

3com (Tailfin)
