responses from the modem. This means that the installation was a success. If your modem

PROBLEM: My PWR LED does not illuminate.
Possible solution:
Make sure the drivers for the modem are installed. The PWR light will not illuminate until
the drivers are installed. If the drivers are installed, then check the following possible
solutions.
Possible solution:
Make sure the USB cable is connected and secure at both ends.
Possible solution:
Try a different USB port on the computer. If a USB hub is being used, try plugging into the
USB port on the computer.
Possible solution:
If the modem has worked previously and you removed the USB cable from the computer
and then reattached it, try another USB port. It may have been set up originally on the other
USB port. You should notice some minimal activity from your computer such as hard disk
activity or an hourglass icon for a few seconds when you insert or remove a USB cable
from the computer or the USB device. If you do not see anything, your system may not be
properly communicating with the USB ports.
Possible solution:
Your USB port may not be enabled. To ensure USB is enabled on your system in Windows
98 or Me, click Windows Start, Settings, and then Control Panel. Double-click the
Systems icon and then click the Device Manager tab. To ensure USB is enabled on your
system in Windows 2000, click Windows Start, Settings, and then Control Panel. Double-
click the Systems icon, click the Hardware tab, and then click the Device Manager button.
All Windows users, if USB is enabled, there will be a USB icon and the words "Universal
serial bus controller" under the Computer icon. If USB is not enabled, you will need to
enable USB in the system's BIOS. Check with your computer manufacturer's
documentation for instructions. Once your USB port has been enabled in your system's
BIOS, Windows will automatically detect and install USB support when it restarts.
