Indicators on 1300 Outdoor Access Point/Bridges
If your access point/bridge is not associating with a remote bridge or access point, check the four LEDs
on the back panel. You can use them to quickly assess the unit’s status. For information on using the
LEDs during the installation and alignment of the access point/bridge antenna, refer to the Cisco Aironet
1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with your access
point/bridge.
Figure 22-1 shows the access point/bridge LEDs.
