Checking the Lightweight Access Point LEDs
Checking the Lightweight Access Point LEDs
If your lightweight access point is not working properly, check the Status, Ethernet, and Radio LEDs on
the 2.4 GHz end of the unit. You can use the LED indications to quickly assess the unit’s status.
Figure 4-1 shows the access point LEDs (for additional information refer to the Event Log using the
access point browser interface).
