On the one I have (SB3100) the power light will blink under some 
circumstances, such as the ISP turning you off for not paying your bill.

You can also point your browser at http://192.168.100.1/ and get various 
bits of info from the unit itself. (that will work if you end up with an 
addr assigned by your ISP or from the motorola unit)

Documentation for the various models is here:
