You can correct most problems you have with your product by consulting the troubleshooting list that

I cannot access the Internet.
Check all of the connections to your EMTA.
Your Ethernet card may not be working well. Check the documentation for more information.
The Network Properties of your operating system may not be setting correctly. Check with your ISP or

All of the lights are flashing in sequence.
This means the EMTA is automatically updating its system software. Please wait for the lights to stop
