Using the ZoneFlex LEDs to Determine the Mesh Status
In addition to checking the mesh status of ZoneFlex APs from the Browser-Based Configuration Pages, you
can also check the LEDs on the APs. The LED behaviors that indicate the AP's mesh status vary depending
whether the AP is a single-band or a dual-band model.
WLAN LED
When Smart Mesh is enabled, the behavior of the WLAN LED indicates uplink status. Refer to the table below
for a complete list of possible LED colors and behaviors for Root APs and Mesh APs, and the mesh status that
they indicate.
Signal/Air Quality LED
