The power light is off on
my DSL modem? What does this mean?
Follow these simple steps:
1. This means that there is no power going to your modem.
2. Check all the cables on the back of the modem to make sure that they are plugged
in tightly.
3. Check the power cord to see that it is plugged into the UPS or wall outlet (not
recommended). If all cables are securely plugged and the modem light is still off,
move the modem to another power outlet to check.
4. If you still have no light, then most likely the modem has gone bad.
5. Please call PalauNet Technical Support at 587-9696 for more information. In the
event that your modem has gone bad, you may be able to get a replacement and charge
it to your current account.

What is PalauNet DSL service? How does it work? DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. It is a technology that
brings 24x7 high bandwidth internet accesses into homes and businesses over copper
telephone lines. DSL technology allows data transmission at speeds much faster than
regular computer modems. The minimum speed for DSL is 64Kbps. The maximum speed
for a regular computer modem is 56Kbps. Although DSL service is provided over standard
copper telephone lines, it requires special high-speed modems, one at the customers’
premises and one at the provider’s central office. DSL is also known as xDSL, with
the ‘x’ standing for various kinds of DSL technologies. These technologies differ
in the connect speed and connection (asymmetric or symmetric) they provide. A point
to note in DSL technology, whatever the flavor, is that there’s a trade-off between
speed and distance. That is, the more the distance between your premises and those
of the service provider, the lower the speed you’re likely to get. So, DSL works
best if you’re closer to the premises of your service provider. PNCC offers different DSL packages. For more information, please contact either the Customer Service Office
at 488-9000 or Sales & Marketing at 488-9600.

any other networked device on a network, thus making communication and exchange
of information between computers possible. An IP address is formatted as 4 sets
of numbers, each having a value between 0 and 255, separated by dots. An IP address
looks like 216.55.128.4
