W-AP175P LED Status Indicators
The W-AP175 include visual indicators for power, link, and radio status. Additionally, each radio has a four-LED
array that indicates received signal strength (RSSI).
Figure 2 LED Layout
Table 2 lists the meanings of the LEDs on the W-AP175P outdoor access point.
NOTE: The RSSI LED indicators represent varying degrees in the RSSI level. The absence of a signal is indicated by no LED
response, and full signal strength is indicated when all four LEDs are active and lit.
