This section describes the access point’s indicator lights and how to read them. This section also provides troubleshooting information you can use to isolate a faulty access point.

Overview

The eight indicator lights on the access point’s front panel are the best indicators of how the unit is working. By observing the indicator lights you can tell the following:

"Mode in which the unit is operating (error, network, boot, or command).

"Type of network link the unit has established when it is in network mode.

"Baud rate of DIAG port when in command mode.

"Possible cause of an error condition when in error mode.

The indicator lights are grouped into four pairs (Figure 6-1).
