Checking the LED Indicators
The bridge’s 11a and 11b/g LEDs operate in two display modes, which are configurable through the
software. The default AP mode indicates data traffic rates. The RSSI mode indicates the received signal
power and is for use when aligning antennas in a bridge link.
When the bridge is connected to power, LEDs indicate as follows:
