Usage)
NOTE: for a standalone bridge, technically it's root and leaf. But we
define it as root, not leaf. So the WLAN 2 LED will be solid on. FIPS/
MODE LED will be off. When high bandwidth traffic is going through,
the response of the traffic LED indicators may be slow due to the work
load of the internal processor.

Description
The Power indicator LED indicates when the device is powered on. If
this light is on, the gateway is on; if it is not on, the gateway is off.
This light indicates the state of your connection to the organization's
Ethernet LAN network. When on, the WAN light indicates that the
gateway is connected to the network. When the WAN light is off, the
gateway does not have an active connection to the network.
1. LED Off means the RF power is adminstratively disabled.
2. LED steady on means RF power is enabled but there no traffic.
3. LED blinking is relative to user traffic.
LED is used to indicate downlink traffic. It blinks when traffic is sent to
(or received from) the downlink.
• Root node: on and blinks with traffic.
• Intermediate node: on and blinks with traffic.
• Leaf node: always off.
The Strength LED indicator indicates the strength of the node assigned
in the Signal Strength MAC field of the Bridge Configuration screen. If
there is no assignment, the strength of the uplink node is shown..
1. LED Off: means no connection on the bridge side, or the signal is
very weak.
2. LED blinks slowly (every 1 second): means there is a connection, and
the signal quality is poor.
3. LED blinks fast: means there is a connection, and the signal quality
is good.
4. LED steady on: means there is a connection, and the signal quality is
excellent.
LED is used to indicate uplink traffic. It blinks when traffic is sent to (or
received from) the uplink.
• Root node: always off
• Intermediate node: on and blinks with traffic.
• Leaf node: on and blinks with traffic.
