Checking the Top Panel LEDs
If your access point is not communicating, check the three LEDs on the top panel. You can use them to
quickly assess the unit’s status.
Figure 9-1

Access Point LEDs
The LEDs signals have the following meanings (for additional details refer to
Table 9-1
):
•
The Ethernet LED signals 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. Steady 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 blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it blinks
green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point’s radio.
