(5805 GHz). To avoid this problem, set the channel on the RM21A or RM22A radio module to one of
the channels supported by the CB20A client radio. For additional information, refer to the

LEDs
The three LEDs on the top of the access point report Ethernet activity, association status, and radio
activity.
•
The Ethernet LED signals Ethernet traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. This LED
is normally green when an Ethernet cable is connected and blinks green when a packet is received
or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The LED is off when the Ethernet cable is not
connected.
•
The status LED signals operational status. Green indicates that the access point is associated with
at least one wireless client. Blinking green indicates that the access point is operating normally but
is not associated with any wireless devices.
•
The radio LED signals wireless traffic over the radio interface. The light is normally off, but it blinks
green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point radio.
Figure 1-1
shows the three status LEDs.

Ethernet Port
The auto-sensing Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a
power injector, switch, or power patch panel. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the
back of the access point.
