Descriptions of LEDs
The top panel contains the following LEDs:
Power and Status LEDs—The Power LED indicates that DC power is present and the Status LED blinks when
the unit is functioning normally.
Wi-Fi—Indicates if the device is serving as a Wi-Fi access point or acting as a Wi-Fi client. Not all models
support Wi-Fi.
Modem LEDs—Two modem LEDs indicate carrier detection and link status.
Signal LEDs—Three signal LEDs display the signal strength level of the wireless connection.
Ethernet LEDs—These LEDs are not on the top panel. See the section Ethernet LED Descriptions for
descriptions of these LEDs.
LED Indicators
POWER
Indicates presence of DC power when lit.
STATUS
The LED is a solid light when the device is booting up, saving the configuration, restarting,
or updating the firmware. When the Status LED begins to blink, the device is ready for use.
Wi-Fi
Infrastructure mode:
The Wi-Fi LED is lit when Wi-Fi AP mode is enabled, unlit when disabled.
The LED flashes rapidly to indicate traffic.
Client mode:
The Wi-Fi LED is lit when Wi-Fi client mode is enabled.
The Wi-Fi LED blinks slowly when associated with an Access Point.
The Wi-Fi LED flashes rapidly to indicate traffic.
CD
Carrier Detect. When lit, indicates data connection has been established.
LS
Link Status
OFF —No power to the cellular radio
Continuously Lit — Transmitting or receiving
Slow Blink (-0.2Hz) — Registered or connected
LED Fast Blink (-3Hz) — Not registered or searching for connection
SIGNAL
Signal strength for cellular (RSSI range: 0 - 31)
ALL OFF — Unit is off, not registered on network, or extremely weak signal (0 <= RSSI <
6).
1 Bar “ON” — Very weak signal (7 <= RSSI <14).
1 Bar and 2 Bar “ON” — Weak signal (15 <= RSSI <23).
1 Bar, 2 Bar, and 3 Bar “ON” — Good signal (24 <= RSSI >= 31).
Ethernet LED Descriptions
Two Ethernet LEDs are physically on the RJ-45 connector(s). The table that follows describes these LEDs.
