Hardware Specifications
The AP420 always works in AP combo mode where the first two radios work in AP mode and the third radio
works in WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System) sensor mode. The fourth LED indicates that the WIPS
sensor on the third radio is active.
The LEDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz will flash indicating activity if a client is connected on the
corresponding radio. If no client is connected to a radio, the corresponding LED will remain solid
green.
