Initial Configuration

VERIFYING YOUR CONNECTIONS

When the Bridge is powered-up, the indicator LEDs at the top of the Bridge will indicate the status of the Bridge. See Table 2 on page 11 for standard packaging, or Table 3 on page 15 for Heavy-Duty packaging.

If the LEDs indicate a problem with a wired or wireless connection, remove the power source from the Bridge, wait a few seconds, and re-apply power. If the LEDs still do not behave appropriately, see the guidelines in Table 11 on page 52.

Other Access Points in the area may interfere with the Bridge’s ability to Note: associate with your chosen Access Point (the Bridge will try to associate with

the first available “best-quality” AP). If you encounter difficulties with connecting to your chosen AP, either remove power from these Access Points or move to an isolated location and perform the setup shown in Figure 1 on page 3.
