turn solid on

English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) gateway device
After the ADSL indicator stops blinking, ADSL indicators turn solid on, which indicates that the is working properly.

I'm not sure what it is meant with "solid"?
(not just blinking but remains on)
thanks!

without interruptions When it is "blinking" per se, the signal comes in and out and occasionaly the connection freezes up but the continuous feed is not there.

With DSL when the light indicators turn on, initially they are intermittent of tend to "blink" if you will, until they quit blinking and are on solidly or contuously.

lights up without blinking

Indicator lights have three basic states:
Off
Blinking
On and not blinking ("solid on"!)

My modem manual says:
"ADSL: Link/Act Steady green light indicates a valid ADSL connection."
