Managing link status

Whenever the Wireless Link Status is not ‘Up’, a yellow warning triangle is displayed
on the navigation bar (

Figure 7-7

). The warning triangle is visible from all web pages.

Click the warning triangle (or menu option

Home

) to return to the System Summary

page and view the Wireless Link Status. If the warning triangle is replaced by a green
square, it indicates that the Wireless Link Status is ‘Up’ (

Figure 7-2

The Wireless Link Status values are defined in
