Usage Features:
The ZXHN H3140 is designed for ease of use with clear indicators on the front panel to show the status of various services and connections.
- Power Indicator: Fixed green indicates all services are available and at least one wireless radio is enabled. Fixed red indicates one or more subscription services are currently unavailable. Green flashing means the modem is being configured remotely. Fixed orange indicates bootloader in progress, while flashing orange means the device is being upgraded.
- Linea (LAN4/SFP) Indicator: Fixed green means connected to the WAN device. Off means not connected.
- Web Indicator: Fixed green indicates a successful internet connection. Flashing green means connected to the internet with data transmission. Off means no internet connection.
- WiFi Indicator: Fixed green means at least one wireless interface is enabled with no wireless activity. Flashing green means wireless activity is in progress. Off means both 2.4G and 5G wireless interfaces are disabled.
- WPS Indicator: Fixed green means a client is registered correctly via WPS. Fast flashing green indicates a process error or session overlap. Slow flashing green indicates WPS registration in progress.
- LAN Indicator: Fixed green means at least one active network device is connected to the Ethernet switch. Flashing green means an active network device is connected and transmitting/receiving data. Off means no active Ethernet devices are connected.
- Voce Indicator: Fixed green means the VoIP telephone service is active. Flashing green means the VoIP telephone service is active with ongoing activities. Off means the VoIP telephone service is not active or not included in the subscription.
For optimal wireless performance, the device should be placed horizontally in the middle of the applied area, away from objects that affect signal propagation (e.g., metallic objects, mirrors) and strong magnetic or electric fields (e.g., microwave ovens, refrigerators, cordless phones, Bluetooth products). The recommended height for placement is 1.2 to 1.5 meters.
