CHECK THE LED INDICATORS

The bridge’s 11a and 11b/g LEDs operate in two display modes, which are configurable through the software. The default AP mode indicates data traffic rates. The RSSI mode indicates the received signal power and is for use when aligning antennas in a bridge link.

When the bridge is connected to power, the LEDs indicate as follows:
