AP troubleshooting

After you insert the Cat-5 cable (ferrite beaded for AP-2330) into an AP's port connector and enable PoE on the cable,
observe the device's health or LINK LED to determine the status of the connection with the WSS.
• If the LED is green and is glowing steadily, the AP was booted successfully by the WSS and is ready for operation.
• If the LED is not steadily glowing green, see

Remedy
Enable at least one of the radios. If the LED is still
not solid green, try the remedy listed in this table
based on the LED's appearance.
Check the Cat-5 cable (ferrite beaded for AP-2330)
connection(s).
For a direct connection to a WSS:
• Set the port type on the WSS to an AP port.
• Verify that Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enabled
on the WSS port connected to the AP.
For an indirect connection through the network:
• Configure a Distributed AP connection on a
WSS.
• Verify that a Nortel-approved PoE source is
supplying power to the AP.
Wait a few seconds for the boot process to complete.
If this LED appearance persists, enable a radio or
place a radio in sentry mode.
Wait a few seconds for the boot process to begin.
If the LED remains amber, try the remedies for the
other health LED appearances.
If the LED still remains amber, make sure the AP is
securely connected to its PoE source and to the
network or WSS.
