Troubleshooting Radio Port Installation
This section describes how to troubleshoot the installation of your ProCurve
radio port primarily from a hardware perspective. You can perform more in-
depth troubleshooting of your wireless LAN system from the console or Web
UI on your wireless services-enabled ProCurve switch.
For more information on software configuration or troubleshooting, see the
Getting Started Guide
for your ProCurve Wireless Edge Services Module for
details.
Basic troubleshooting relies on the LEDs to diagnose the condition of the radio
port. The table below shows LED patterns on the radio port that indicate
problem conditions.
LED Error Indicators
GREEN LED
AMBER LED
Diagnostic Tips
Off steadily while Ethernet cable is
linked to a PoE source. Remains off
even when the radio port is
disconnected from Ethernet cable and
reconnected.
Off steadily while Ethernet cable is
linked to a PoE source. Remains off
even when radio port is disconnected
from Ethernet cable and reconnected.
Radio port is not receiving PoE power. Verify that the Ethernet
cable is connected directly to an IEEE 802.3af-compatible PoE
source, and that all cable connections are tight and secure.
Verify that the PoE source device is powered on, and that the
PoE function has been administratively enabled on the source
port connected to the radio port. Verify that the network cable
is functioning properly, or try a different cable. Try plugging
the radio port into another PoE power source, or connect
another PoE device to the port to confirm if the PoE source is
functioning appropriately.
Both GREEN and AMBER LEDs light steadily for several seconds, followed by the
AMBER LED flashing steadily on and off three times a second for several seconds,
then this cycle repeats itself continuously.
The radio port is encountering a Startup Error, and is unable to
successfully communicate with or be adopted by a compatible
wireless services-enabled switch. See the Startup Error
checklist below for further diagnostic tips.
Flashes on and off steadily once per
second
*
The radio port has encountered an error that prevents the IEEE
802.11b/g radio from operating normally.
*
Flashes on and off steadily once per
second
(Radio Port 230 only) The radio port has encountered an error
that prevents the IEEE 802.11a radio from operating normally.
