Using the Access Point LEDs to Determine the Problem
Description
Lights when the Access Point has power and has passed the
self-test. If the Access Point fails the test, the LED blinks at
a steady rate.
Lights when the Access Point is forwarding packets.
Lights when the Access Point is saturated. Saturation occurs
when the Access Point cannot forward packets from the
Ethernet to the wireless side due to the lower throughput of
the wireless network. The degree of LED brightness indicates
the level of saturation. The LED dims (and eventually
extinguishes) as the network congestion is processed.
Lights when packets are:
•
Received on the wireless port and forwarded to
the Ethernet port.
•
Received on the Ethernet port and forwarded to
the wireless port.
•
Addressed to or generated by the Access Point
using the wireless port.
Packets received and filtered are not shown. The average
brightness of the LED indicates the level of activity on the
wireless port. If the LED blinks in unison with the Power/
System OK and the Bridge State LEDs, the wireless port has
a fault that prevents the Access Point from establishing a
connection to the network.
Lights when data is received on the Ethernet port. Data
transmitted by the Access Point is not shown. Data traffic
forwarded to the Ethernet port from the wireless port is not
shown.
