Key Features

LEDs

Four LEDs are located on back of the housing to report radio activity, status, and Ethernet activity (see

Figure 1-3).

Figure 1-3 LEDs

•The install LED indicates that installation mode is activated. During installation mode, the other

LEDs provide signal strength readings used for antenna alignment.

Note The install LED is not used on the lightweight access points.

•The radio LED blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it blink s

green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the radio link. This LED also provides signal

strength readings during installation mode. On autonomous access points, this LED also provides

signal strength readings during installation mode.

•The status LED indicates association status. Blinking green indicates t hat the access point/bridge is

not associated with another bridge. Steady green indicates that the unit is associated with at least

one other bridge. On autonomous access points, this LED also provides signal strength readings

during installation mode.

•The Ethernet LED indicates Ethernet traffic. This LED blinks green when a packet is received or

transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The LED is off when the Ethernet link not working or

the port is shutdown. On autonomous access points, this LED also provides signal strength readings

during installation mode.

When the lightweight access point is searching for a controller, the Radio, Status, and Ethernet LEDs

sequentially blink green, red and amber.

For additional information on the LEDs, refer to the “Checking the LEDs on an Autonomous Access

Point/Bridge” section on page 4-2 or the “Checking the LEDs on Lightweigh t Access Points” section on

page 5-2.
