The Ethernet indicator signals traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. This indicator
blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure.
The status indicator signals operational status. Blinking green indicates that the access point is
operating normally but is not associated with any wireless devices. Steady green indicates that the
access point is associated with a wireless client.
For repeater access points, blinking 50% on, 50% off indicates the repeater is not associated with
the root access point; blinking 7/8 on, 1/8 off indicates that the repeater is associated with the root
access point but no client devices are associated with the repeater; steady green indicates that the
repeater is associated with the root access point and client devices are associated with the repeater.
The radio indicator blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it
blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point's radio.
