1-4 Introducing RoamAbout Access Point
Name Description
Wired LAN Indicates the status of the wired Ethernet segment. The
Activity LED lights (green) when packets are:
LED
Received on the Ethernet port and forwarded to the
wireless port.
Addressed to or generated by the AP 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 (6), the Ethernet
port has a fault that prevents the AP from establishing
a connection to the network.
10BaseT Connects the AP to a 10BaseT network. This
Ethernet connector is not used if the AP is connected to a
Connector ThinWire network or installed in a MultiSwitch 900 or
DEChub 90.
Bridge State Lights (green) when the AP is forwarding packets.
LED
Access Point Lights (yellow) when the AP is saturated. Saturation
Saturated occurs when the AP cannot forward packets from the
Ethernet to the wireless side due to the lower
LED
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.
Wireless LAN Indicates the status of the wireless Ethernet segment.
Activity The LED lights (green) when packets are:
LED
Received on the wireless port and forwarded to the
Ethernet port.
Addressed to or generated by the AP using the
wireless port.
Packets received and filtered are not shown. Data
traffic forwarded to the wireless port is not shown. The
average brightness of the LED indicates the level of
activity on the wireless port. If the LED is flashing
together with the Bridge State LED (6), the wireless
port has a fault that prevents the AP from establishing
a connection to the network.
