Powering Up the Access Point

Powering Up the Access Point

When you apply power to the access point, it begins a routine power-up sequence that you can monitor
by observing the Status LED on top of the access point. On initial power-up the LED changes colors
indicating various Power-On Self-Test (POST) activities; for example, the Status LED turns dark green
for about 30 seconds to indicate loading of the Cisco IOS operating system. After a successful power-up
sequence, the LED turns light green to signify that there are no client devics associated, or it turns blue
to signify that there are client devices associated. Refer to Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting," for complete
LED descriptions.
When the Status LED turns light blue or medium blue, you can obtain the access point's IP address and
perform an initial configuration. For instructions on assigning basic settings to the access point, refer to
Chapter 3, "Configuring the Access Point for the First Time."
Be careful when handling the access point; the bottom plate might be hot.
Caution
If your access point is connected to in-line power, do not connect the power module to the access point.
Note
Using two power sources on the access point might cause the access point to shut down to protect internal
components and might cause the switch to shut down the port to which the access point is connected. If
your access point shuts down, you must remove all power and reconnect only a single power source.
