Figure 1-2 Indicators on the 350 Series Metal Case Access Point

•The Ethernet indicator signals Ethernet traffic on the wired LAN. This indicator blinks green when

a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The indicator blinks red when

the Ethernet cable is not connected.

•The association status indicator signals operational status. Blinking green indicates that the access

point is operating normally but is not associated with any wireless client devices. Steady green

indicates that the access point is associated with at least one wireless client device.

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

blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point radio.
