Copper Rocket xDSL Modem


Note:

Copper Mountain makes several xDSL modems but the ones implemented by Rhythms are the Copperrocket 201 series modems which come in either an SDSL or IDSL configurations. Neither modem is pingable. Both modems look identical and the only way to tell them apart is to look at the sticker at the bottom of the device.

 

MODEM IP: None

 

LED

STATUS

 

Explanation

Power

Modem status

 

During power up, the LED will be orange. After power up, the power LED should be solid green. If the power LED is anything other than green, verify power. If the power LED is still something other than solid green, the unit is defective.

LAN

Ethernet cable connection

 

This LED must be solid green but during power up this LED will be orang. After power up, this LED will be out until a PC or hub is connected to the unit. The LED will be solid green with power Ethernet connectivity. The LED will faintly flash green when data is passing through. If the unit passes the power up test and this LED is still out after connecting the Ethernet cable, verify the proper cable is being used and the PC or hub it's connected to is good. There are two LAN ports on the back of the Copper Rocket end-points. One is labeled "Hub" and the other is labeled "Computer. You may only use one or the other. If you are connecting a computer to the unit with a straight-through cable, connect it to the port labeled "Computer". If you are connecting a computer to the unit with a crossover cable, plug the cable into the port labeled "Hub".

DSL

Line Sync

 

This LED must be solid green but during power up this LED will be orange then it should go out. Once the DSL line is connected to the unit the LED will begin to flash green while it's trying to sync. If this LED flashes green but never becomes solid green, the unit cannot sync. This would indicate some type of DSL loop continuity problem. 

DATA

Date

 

This LED should flash when browsing. This is data being sent over the WAN not the LAN.
