Verifying Controller Association

Verifying Controller Association

To verify that your access point is associated to the controller, follow these steps:

Step 1

Log into your controller web interface using a web browser.

You can also use the controller CLI 

show ap summary

 command from the controller console port.

Step 2

Click 

Wireless, 

and verify that your access point MAC address is listed under Ethernet MAC.

Step 3

Log out of the controller, and close your web browser.

RF-1

Black

Radio turned off or LED off. 

Steady green

Radio is operational; network is good.

Steady red

Firmware failure. Contact your support organization for assistance.

1.

If all LEDs off, the access point has no power.

2.

When the access point power supply is initially turned on, all LEDs are amber.
If the power supplied in insufficient, then all LEDs blinking amber at 1 second intervals. Supply sufficient power to remedy this.

3.

If the temperature of the AP exceeds its working temperature range, then the AP shuts down, with all LEDs blinking amber at 0.5 sec intervals. The 
Wireless LAN Controller is also notified. The AP reboots automatically when the temperature gets back within the working range.
