over the network. Once a key is deployed to a BBR, it is validated by the WDM before the BBR can
join the wireless sensor network. Key deployment is a one-time activity; that is, the devices can rejoin
the network after power down or after any other service interruptions without rekeying the device.
Once the BBR is authenticated, it joins the sensor network. The PDA can be used to monitor the status
of the authenticated device and the handheld displays status such as Discover, Secure, Joined, or Not
Joined. Other BBR parameters can be read and set through the PDA. If the BBR is not joining the
network, its parameter data can be read by the PDA and used to aid in troubleshooting.
Table 1 indicates the status of the BBR using the LEDs in the IR window.
7 Network Deployment Examples
The access point is a wireless device designed for wireless client access and point-to-point bridging,
point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point
provides 5-GHz backhaul capability to link with another access point to reach a wired network
connection or to provide repeater operations for other access points.
The access point plays two primary radio roles: a root access point (hereafter called a RAP) or a mesh
(non-root) access point (hereafter called a MAP), which is the default role of all access points. When
the access point has a fiber or wired Ethernet connection to the controller (through a switch), the radio
role is called a RAP. In order to be considered a RAP, the access point must be configured as a RAP. A
RAP is a parent node to any bridging or mesh network. A controller can support one or more RAPs,

LED Description
Power LED (Green) ON = BBR Board has power
OFF = BBR Board has no power
Status LED (Green/Yellow) BLINK GREEN (1 sec. period): Indicates the overall
health and status of the BBR Board.
BLINK YELLOW: Indicates that the data is receiving or
transmitting data over the IR port.
Comm LED (Green/Yellow) Indicates Ethernet link activity.
• STEADY GREEN: The LED is steady when there is a
valid Ethernet link but no data activity.
• BLINK GREEN: The LED blinks when there is data
activity on the Ethernet link.
• YELLOW: Unsupported communication mode.
