Access Point (Original) LEDs

Table 7-4 describes the LED functions. Table 7-5 describes the patterns, likely causes, and
possible corrective actions. Table 7-6 describes the patterns during a firmware upgrade.

Using the Access Point LEDs to Determine the Problem
Description
Lights (green) when the Access Point has power.
Lights (green) when the Access Point passes its power-up self-test. The
LED is off if the Access Point fails the test. If flashing, the Ethernet or
wireless port (or both) has a fault, preventing connection to the network.
Indicates the status of the wired Ethernet segment. The LED lights (green)
when packets are:
•
Received on the Ethernet port and forwarded to the wireless
port.
•
Addressed to or generated by the Access Point using the
Ethernet port.
Packets received and filtered are not shown. Data traffic forwarded to the
Ethernet port is not shown. The average brightness of the LED indicates
the level of activity on the Ethernet port. If the LED is flashing together
with the Bridge State LED, the Ethernet port has a fault that prevents the
Access Point from establishing a connection to the network.
Lights (green) when the Access Point is forwarding packets.
Lights (yellow) 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.
