EWB100 Usage and Deployment Guide

21 Obtaining Device Status Information

21.1 Basic Concepts
The EWB100 does not have a graphical interface and so the user cannot look at
a screen in order to determine the state of the device. However there are four
mechanisms by which a user can determine the state of the EWB100:
 LED Blink patterns
 Audio information invoked by holding down down keys
 A Status Packet that is sent on a regular basis
 The Statistics commands in the CLI
 Roam Command
21.2 LED Blink Patterns
The Red and Green LEDs indicate the general state of the device. If the Green
LED is blinking on a regular basis (every 10 seconds or so), it means the device
is associated and authenticated with the 802.11 network and that it has an IP
address.In general, all is well.
If the Red LED is blinking, then there is a problem of some kind. The number of
Red LED flashes indicates the problem.
 One Flash
 Two Flashes
 Three Flashs
 Four Flashes
21.3 Status Key Sequence
21.3.1 Usage
If one holds down the WTT and SAPP buttons, the EWB100 will play audio clips
that contain status/configuration information. As one holds the keys down one
will hear a series of beeps separated by several seconds. The information that is
played a function of how many beeps are played before the keys are released.
Low battery
Not associated or low signal strength
Cannot obtain IP Address using DHCP
