training for your DSL service..

Wireless Light - When the Wireless Light glows steadily, the Gateway is ready

for wireless networking.

Ethernet Network Light(s) - The Ethernet Network Lights glow when a net-

work link is established with a computer. A flashing Light signifies network traf-

schedule your installation.

call when the alarm is triggered. Professional wiring is required to insure interoper-

ability. Do not attempt the installtion yourself. Qwest strongly recommends that

you contact your security organization for more information about your security

alarm system before you attempt to install Qwest DSL.Qwest also strongly recom-

mends that you contact your security organization after installing Qwest DSL to

have them conduct a test of your alarm system.

Automatic Water Meter

If your home or office has an automatic water meter that uses the same phone line

as the Qwest DSL Gateway, you must put a DSL Phone Filter on the water meter.
