Troubleshooting and error codes

LED Activity
All LEDS During Boot Process
  • If the BGW210-700 Broadband Gateway boots and does not detect a failure:
    • The Power, Broadband, and Phone LEDs all Flash Green, Power LED goes Solid Green and all other LEDs are Off. Power LED starts Flashing Green during Power On Self Test (POST), Power LED goes Solid Green and all other LEDs start functioning with normal behavior.
  • If the BGW210-700 Broadband Gateway does not boot and fails its self-test or fails to perform initial load of the bootloader:
    • All LEDs on the front of the device continuously flash red in unison.
  • If the BGW210-700 Broadband Gateway boots and then detects a failure:
    • Power, Broadband, and Phone LEDs all Flash Green for 2 to 3 seconds, and then all LEDs will flash red, including Power LED.
Power (Front Panel)
  • Solid Green = The device is powered.
  • Off = The unit has no AC power.
  • Flashing Green = The POST is in progress. Also flashes green during initial power-up of the device.
  • Flashing Red = A POST failure (not bootable) or device malfunction occurred.
Broadband WAN (Front Panel)
  • Solid Green = Good broadband connection (good sync for a DSL line or signal detected for other types of broadband connections). Only displays when not in alert mode.
  • Off = The device is not powered. When in alert mode, the Solid Green and Flashing Green indications will not be displayed and the LED will be off. The alert mode is intended to avoid showing broadband WAN and VoIP LEDs unless there is an issue. By default the alert mode is disabled.
  • Flashing Green = Attempting broadband connection (e.g., DSL attempting sync, attempting 802.1x or attempting to obtain DHCP information). Only displays when not in alert mode. Also flashes green during initial power-up of the device.
  • Flashing Yellow = LTE device is in place, but not operating properly when a primary connection is working.
  • Flashing Red = A broadband signal is detected, but the connection could not be fully established or the device attempted to become IP connected and failed.
  • Solid Red = No signal on a line and the line is configured to be used (including when there is no signal on one pair of a bonded-pair connection as identified through manual or G.997.1 communication).
  • During a software upgrade the LED will continue to function properly and not have any specialized sequence.
  • Off = The device is not powered.
Phone (Front Panel)
  • Solid Green = At least one VoIP line has been configured and all configured VoIP lines are registered with a SIP proxy server. Only displays when not in alert mode.
  • Flashing Green = Indicates ringing associated with an incoming call, as well as when a telephone is off-hook, on either FXS port. Only displays when not in alert mode. Also flashes green during initial power-up of the device.
  • Solid Red = One or more configured lines are not registered with a SIP proxy server.
  • Off = VoIP not in use (e.g. both VoIP lines are not configured) or BGW210-700 Broadband Gateway power is off. When in alert mode the Solid Green and Flashing Green will not be displayed and the LED will be off.
  • During a software upgrade the LED will continue to function properly and not have any specialized sequence.
WPS (appears After Using WPS button)
  • Solid Green = Wi-Fi Protected Setup has been completed successfully. LED should stay on for 5 minutes or until push button is pressed again.
  • Flashing Green = Continues for 2 minutes, indicating when WPS is broadcasting.
  • Flashing Red = Continues for 2 minutes, indicating a Session overlap was detected (possible security risk).
  • Solid Red = Error unrelated to security, such as failure to find a partner, or WPS is disabled. LED should stay solid red for 5 minutes or until push button is pressed again.
  • Off = The gateway is ready for WPS authentication.
Ethernet 1,2,3,4 (Rear Panel)
  • Solid Green = A 10/100/1000 Ethernet device is connected.
  • Off = The BGW210-700 Broadband Gateway is not powered or no powered devices are connected to the associated ports.
Power Jack (Rear Panel)
  • Green = The voltage present at the DC input connector is equal to or above the required minimum specification of 11.4 volts.
  • Off = The voltage present at the DC input connector is below the required minimum specification of 10.8 volts.
