LEDs
The Cisco cable modem HWIC LEDs show green, orange, and off states for system and port status.
Table 44
describes the Cisco cable modem HWIC LEDs and their meanings when the Cisco cable
modem HWIC is going through the registration process.
For more information about DOCSIS 2.0 compliant LED functionality, see the CableLabs website at

Accessibility
These HWICs can be configured using the Cisco command-line interface (CLI). The CLI conforms to
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act because it is text based and because it relies on a keyboard for
navigation. All functions of the router can be configured and monitored through the CLI.

Cisco Cable Modem HWIC LED Meanings
LED
Meaning
DS
The DS (downstream) LED lights up and flashes when the cable
modem scans for a DOCSIS channel and tries to lock on to a
downstream signal. The LED stays solid when it has locked on to
the DS DOCSIS channel.
Note
The DS LED blinks before the US (upstream) LED blinks.
US
The US (upstream) LED lights up and flashes when the cable
modem scans for a DOCSIS channel and tries to lock on an
upstream signal. The LED stays solid when it has locked on to the
US DOCSIS channel.
ONLINE
The Online LED flashes when the cable modem is establishing a
connection to the router. It stays solid when the cable modem is
synchronized with the router.
LINK
The LED shows that a link is active when a CPE device is connected
and the cable modem is not bridging data. The LINK LED pulses
when the cable modem is bridging data in the cable modem
operational state.
Note
The LINK LED does not pulse for data traffic that originates
or terminates at the cable modem.
POWER
The Power LED lights up when the cable modem is powered on. It
stays solid after the power-on self-test (POST). If the LED lights up
red, the self-test has failed.
