(Cisco logo)	Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Access Point’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up when
	the Access Point is powered on. The Cisco logo is orange when the SecureEasySetup feature
	is not used, while the color white indicates that the SecureEasySetup feature is being used.
	When the Access Point enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will turn white and start
	flashing. Then the Access Point will generate its SSID (network name) and WPA-Personal (also
	called WPA-PSK) key. If the Access Point successfully associates with a client using
	SecureEasySetup, the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white. If the association is
	unsuccessful, then the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay orange.
	To clear the SSID and WPA-Personal key, press and hold down the Cisco logo for ten seconds.
	The Cisco logo will turn orange to indicate a successful reset.
Power	Red. The Power LED lights up when the Access Point is powered on.
Act	Green. The Act LED lights up when the Access Point is ready for wireless use. It flashes when
	the Access Point is transmitting or receiving data wirelessly.
Link	Orange. The Link LED lights up when the Access Point is successfully connected to a device
	through the Ethernet network port. The LED flashes when the Access Point is transmitting or
	receiving data through the Ethernet network port.

NOTE: SecureEasySetup is a feature that makes it easy to set up your wireless network. If you have SecureEasySetup devices, run the Setup Wizard on the Access Point’s Setup Wizard CD-ROM. Then follow the on-screen instructions.
