    1. when power is first applied, verify that the pwr led is on.

    2. verify that the test led begins to blink within a few seconds.

    3. after approximately 30 seconds, verify that:

    a. the test led is not lit.

    b. the lan lnk/act leds are lit for any local ports that are connected.

    c. the wan lnk led is lit.

    if a lnk or lnk/act led is lit, a link has been established to the connected device.
