LEDs

The Install LED provides bridge association status during installation mode as shown in Table 3-2.

Table 3-2	Install LED Status
Install LED		Status	Bridge State
Off		Self test	Startup.
Amber blinking		Non-root, searching	Not associated (non-root mode). The
			access point/bridge attempts to associate
			with a root bridge for 60 seconds1.
Amber		Non-root, associated	Associated (non-root mode).
Green blinking		Root, searching	Not associated (root mode). The access
			point/bridge attempts to associate with a
			non-root bridge indefinitely.
Green		Root, associated	Associated (root mode).
Red		Error	Overvoltage or overcurrent error2

1.Preconfigured bridges search indefinitely.

2.Disconnect power to the power injector, wait approximately 1 minute, and reconnect power. If error continues, contact technical support.

Use the Install LED to determine when the bridge successfully associates with a remote bridge and to verify its mode of operation. After association, the other three LEDs indicate signal strength.

The startup and association sequence depends on the access point/bridge configuration, which can be one of the following types:

•Default—The access point/bridge attempts to associate with a root bridge for 60 seconds. If it does not associate with a root bridge, it attempts to associate with a non-root bridge.

•Preconfigured bridge mode—The unit attempts to associate with a remote bridge in the configured mode, either root or non-root. Because there are no timeouts, it is easier to align the antenna.

•Preconfigured access point or workgroup bridge modes—the bridge Install LED does not operate.
