Checking the LED Indicators

If your bridge is not associating with the remote bridge, check the four LED indicators on the back panel.

You can use them to quickly assess the unit’s status. Figure 5-1 shows the indicators.

Figure 5-1 Bridge LED Indicators

The indicators signals have the following meanings (for additional details refer to Table 5-3):

• The status indicator signals bridge association status. Blinking green indicates that the bridge is not

associated with another bridge. Steady green indicates that the bridge is associated with at least one

other bridge. This indicator also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

• 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 bridge radio link. This indicator

also provides signal strength readings during installation mode.

• The Ethernet indicator signals Ethernet traffic. This indicator blinks green when a packet is received

or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The indicator is off when the Ethernet link not

working or the port is shutdown. This indicator also provides signal strength readings during

installation mode.

• The install indicator provides installation mode association status. During installation mode, the

other indicators provide signal strength readings used for antenna alignment.
