Power Light Representation
- No Lights: Make sure power is connected
- Red Status Light: If the Status light remains solid red for longer than 5 minutes, contact our Support team
- Flashing Green Lights: If multiple green lights are flashing on the Fax ATA, it is downloading a firmware update or getting it's provisioning settings. DO NOT remove or disconnect power from the device at this time.
- WAN Status and Power lights are all green / 3 green lights: Normal Idle Status
- Multiple Red Lights / Mixed Green / Red Lights: The Fax ATA is rebooting. This typically takes about 60 seconds before going back to solid green.
