LED Startup Sequence (CM Backhaul) 

The startup sequence from factory default state to operational state is as follows:  
1.

 

At power on, the Power LED is red, then blinking green during bootup. 

2.

 

CM DS LED blinks while finding CM downstream link, then solid once complete.  

3.

 

CM US LED blinks while finding CM upstream link, then solid once complete.  

4.

 

Online LED blinks while getting new config from CMTS, and solid once configuration is 

complete.  

5.

 

Power LED is solid green once an IP address is received.  

6.

 

Once the AP is approved on the controller, the DIR LED starts blinking, indicating firmware 
downloading. 
Note: If the AP was preconfigured at the factory and does not need a firmware upgrade, this 
step is skipped.  

7.

 

Once firmware upgrade is complete, the AP reboots and the Power LED turns red, then 
blinking green, then solid green once reboot is complete.  

8.

 

AIR, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs are the same as other Ruckus APs: Amber when SSID is up, 
green when clients connected to the radio. The AIR LED indicates Mesh AP upstream 
connectivity; therefore it will not generally be lit on a cable modem AP, whose backhaul should 
be the cable modem rather than a mesh link.
