AP

 

Status

 

Levels

 

 

 

The

 

AP

 

has

 

multiple

 

CloudCommand

 

status

 

levels

 

which

 

enable

 

you

 

to

 

monitor

 

its

 

real

time

 

condition

 

and

 

activity.

  

View

 

an

 

AP’s

 

status

 

log

 

in

 

the

 

Access

 

Points

 

section

 

of

 

the

 

CloudCommand

 

dashboard.

  

Six

 

status

 

levels:

  

 

Registered:

  

AP

 

was

 

successfully

 

registered

 

but

 

has

 

not

 

yet

 

connected

 

to

 

CloudCommand.

  

Starting:

  

The

 

initial

 

configuration

 

is

 

occurring.

  

It

 

requires

 

several

 

minutes,

 

during

 

which

 

time

 

the

 

AP

 

is

 

offline

 

and

 

unable

 

to

 

broadcast.

 

The

 

status

 

should

 

progress

 

from

 

“Starting”

 

to

 

“OK.”

  

Starting

 

may

 

occur

 

for

 

multiple

 

reasons,

 

including

 

device

 

management

 

and

 

settings

 

changes.

   

OK/OK

:

  

AP

 

is

 

operational.

 

An

 

upward

 

arrow

 

indicates

 

that

 

the

 

AP

 

is

 

currently

 

communicating

 

with

 

the

 

CloudCommand

 

Server.

 

It

 

is

 

normal

 

behavior.

 

Upgrading:

 

The

 

AP

 

is

 

executing

 

a

 

firmware

 

upgrade.

 

DO

 

NOT

 

DISCONNECT

 

from

 

power

 

or

 

Internet

 

connection.

  

NetDegraded:

  

Network

 

connectivity

 

to

 

the

 

Internet

 

is

 

poor.

  

The

 

AP

 

operates

 

properly,

 

but

 

responsiveness

 

may

 

be

 

delayed.

  

If

 

conditions

 

improve,

 

the

 

status

 

reverts

 

to

 

“OK.”

 

Unmanageable:

  

AP

 

is

 

not

 

communicating

 

properly

 

with

 

the

 

CloudCommand

 

service

 

for

 

over

 

4

 

minutes

 

although

 

it

 

is

 

still

 

operational.

  

The

 

AP

 

is

 

not

 

disconnected.

  

However,

 

management

 

is

 

unavailable.

  

If

 

the

 

AP

 

moves

 

to

 

this

 

state

 

the

 

first

 

time

 

it

 

is

 

connected,

 

it

 

may

 

indicate

 

your

 

firewall

 

settings

 

may

 

needs

 

to

 

be

 

adjusted.

  

This

 

state

 

if

 

reached

 

after

 

a

 

period

 

of

 

proper

 

operation

 

may

 

indicate

 

issues

 

with

 

your

 

Internet

 

service

 

or

 

hardware

 

problems

 

such

 

as

 

a

 

failed

 

switch

 

or

 

router.

  

Disconnected:

  

AP

 

is

 

not

 

communicating

 

with

 

the

 

CloudCommand

 

site.

 

Reasons

 

include

 

no

 

Internet

 

connectivity

 

or

 

improper

 

firewall

 

configurations.

  

 

Additionally,

 

the

 

hardware

 

unit

 

has

 

two

 

status

 

levels.

  

When

 

its

 

halo

 

glows

 

green,

 

it

 

is

 

operational.

  

When

 

it

 

glows/flashes

 

amber,

 

there

 

is

 

a

 

connectivity

 

issue.
