Newbie alert! - WAN light flashes rapidly

I'm setting up my first wireless system and have a D-Link 514 wireless
router. The first couple of setup steps has me connecting my cable
modem to the router's WAN port, which I've done using D-Link's supplied
cable. I get the impression from the instructions that the Wan light,
at this preliminary point, should be on steady. Mine flashes rapidly.
Is this OK or should it be steady? I've reset the modem and switched
cables, but no luck. Remember, I'm only connected between the modem and
the router, no pc is involved, yet. Thanks.

It is normal for the WAN light to flash when there is activity between the
modem and router.Even if you don't do anything there is activity every few
seconds for synchronization.
