Check the Ethernet cable
If you connect a radio and the Ethernet LED does not light on the radio, there
may be a problem with the Ethernet cable. Verify that the cable is plugged into
the radio at one end, and to an Ethernet hub or a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet switch
at the other end. If using the PoE injector, verify that the M12 to RJ45 cable is
connected between the radio and the injector and also that the Ethernet patch
cable is connected between the injector and switch.
Note:
The RLXIB-ICN radio auto-detects the Ethernet connection type, and does not require a
crossover cable for direct connection to a PC.

LED Display
The RLXIB-
ICN front panel includes a set of LEDs that indicate the radio’s status:
LED
Description
Power
This green LED indicates that the radio has power.
RF Transmit
This yellow LED indicates RF transmission.
RF Receive
This green LED indicates RF reception.
Serial
Reserved for future use.
Ethernet
If this green LED is on, the Ethernet cable is connected. If this LED is flashing,
an Ethernet packet is being transmitted or received.
Signal Strength
If only one of these three LEDs is on, then the radio is linked. If two LEDs are on,
the radio’s signal strength is fair. If all three LEDs are on, the signal strength is
good.
After you first plug in the power cable and Ethernet cable to the radio, the
Power/Status LED should be green, meaning that the radio has power. If the
Ethernet LED is green, then the Ethernet connection is working. The RF Transmit
and RF Receive LEDs should blink.
All three LEDs will blink just after the radio links to the Access Point signal, but
before it has been fully authenticated. Normally you will see this last only a few
seconds. If it blinks longer, or never turns on, it usually means the encryption
keys are not correct.

Retrieve the Default Password
If you forget your password, you will be unable to change the radio settings. You
can retrieve the default password to use the software again, but you will lose all
the settings you programmed before. To retrieve the default password and return
the radio to its default settings, follow these steps:
1
Turn off power to the radio.
