4  GW1000M Series LED behaviour 
4.1 Main LED behaviour 
There are five LEDs on the GW1000M Series router  
 
Figure 6: LEDs on the GW1000M Series router 
The possible LED states are: 
•  Off 
•  Flashing slowing (2 flashes per second) 
•  Flashing quickly (5 flashes per second) 
•  Double flash (2 quick flashes then a pause) 
•  On 
The following table describes the possible LED behaviours and meanings on the 
GW1000M Series router. 
The router takes approximately 2 minutes to boot up. During this time, 
the power LED flashes.  
Other LEDs display different diagnostic patterns during boot up.  
Booting is complete when the power LED stops flashing and stays on 
steady. 
No power/boot loader does not exist. 
Unit is booting from power on. 
Unit is in recovery mode. 
Unit is in factory configuration.  
Unit has completed booting up process and is in either config 1 or 
config2. 
Not selected or SIM not inserted. 
SIM selected and data connection is being established. 
SIM selected and registered on the network. 
Not connected or signal strength <= -113dBm.  
Left LED on 
Right LED off 
Connected and signal strength <= -89dBm. 
Left LED off 
Right LED on 
Connected and signal strength between -89dBm and -69dBm. 
Connected and signal strength >-69dBm.

Note: when a data connection does not exist, none of the signal LEDs will light 
regardless of signal strength.
