Cisco Systems 1200 manual LEDs

Chapter 1 Overview

Hardware Features

All 5-GHz radio modules incorporate an Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio transceiver operating in the UNII 5-GHz frequency bands. The RM21A radio modules contains dual integrated omnidirectional antennas and directional antennas for diversity operation. For autonomous access points, the 802.11g radio is called Radio0 and the 802.11a radio is called Radio1.

LEDs

The three LEDs on the top of the access point report Ethernet activity, association status, and radio activity.

•The Ethernet LED signals Ethernet traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. This LED is normally green when an Ethernet cable is connected and blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The LED is off when the Ethernet cable is not connected.

•The status LED signals operational status. Green indicates that the access point is associated with at least one wireless client. Blinking green indicates that the access point is operating normally but is not associated with any wireless devices.

•The radio LED signals wireless traffic over the radio interface. The light is normally off, but it blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point radio.

Figure 1-1shows the three status LEDs.

Ethernet Port

86704

The auto-sensing Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a power injector, switch, or power patch panel. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the back of the access point.
