Checking the Top Panel Indicators
If your bridge is not communicating, check the three indicators on the top panel. You can use them to
quickly assess the unit’s status.
Figure 4-1
shows the indicators, and
Table 4-1
lists the meanings of the
indicator signals.
Figure 4-1
Indicator Lights on the Bridge
The indicator lights have the following meanings:
•
The Ethernet indicator signals traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. This indicator
blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure.
•
The status indicator signals operational status. Blinking green indicates that the bridge is operating
normally but is not associated with any wireless devices. Steady green indicates that the bridge is
associated with a wireless client.
For repeater bridges, blinking 1/2 on, 1/2 off indicates the repeater is not associated with the root
bridge; blinking 7/8 on, 1/8 off indicates that the repeater is associated with the root bridge but no
client devices are associated with the repeater; steady green indicates that the repeater is associated
with the root bridge and client devices are associated with the repeater.
•
The radio indicator 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 bridge’s radio.
