Chapter 2: Getting to Know the
Wireless PrintServer

The Wireless PrintServer's LEDs

LAN Green. The LAN LED serves two purposes.
If the LED is continuously illuminated, the
Wireless PrintServer is successfully con-
nected to a device through the LAN port. If
the LED is flickering, the Wireless
PrintServer is actively sending or receiving
data to the wired network.
WLAN Amber. The WLAN LED will flicker when
the Wireless PrintServer is actively sending
to or receiving data from the wireless net-
work.
ACT Green. The ACT LED will remain continu-
ously lit when a printer is correctly connect-
ed to the Wireless PrintServer. The LED
will flicker when print jobs are being trans-
mitted to the printer, over both the wired
and wireless networks.
Err Red. The Error LED lights up when there is
a problem printing to the indicated printer.
