Table 5-2 describes possible AP problems and recommended corrective actions.
Table 5-2: LED Problem Solving Summary
If...
Power OK LED (1) is off.
Module OK LED (2) is
off.
Module OK LED (2) is
blinking in Error mode
(constant rate and
intensity), and is blinking
in unison with the AP
Saturated LED and in
unison with either the
Wired LAN or Wireless
LAN activity LED.
Wired LAN Activity LED
(3) is blinking with a short
on once per second.
AP Saturated LED (5) is
blinking in Normal mode.
AP Saturated LED (5) is
blinking in Error mode.
Using the LEDs to Determine the Problem
Then...
AP does not have
power.
Either the AP is
performing hardware
diagnostics, the
Ethernet connection is
bad, or the AP hardware
is defective.
The AP is not connected
to either the wired LAN
or wireless LAN.
AP is not connected to
the wired network, or
there is no activity on
the wired LAN.
AP is dropping packets
due to excessive traffic.
This indicates an error
condition exists.
Do This...
Verify that the outlet has
power.
Check the power
connection to the AP.
Replace the power supply
(if a standalone
configuration).
Return the AP (contact
your sales representative).
Verify the Ethernet
connection. If the LED
still fails to light, return
the AP (contact your sales
representative).
Check to see which
network activity LED the
Module OK LED is
blinking in unison with,
and verify the appropriate
connection.
Verify that the AP is
physically connected to
the network.
Examine your
configuration to
determine if there are one
or more users transmitting
excessive amounts of
data.
