HP 560 Wireless 802.11n Access Point Installation Guide

3 Controllers
To become operational, the AP must establish a management tunnel with a controller. The controller
manages the AP and provides all configuration settings.
When power is applied, the AP establishes a connection to the controller automatically if default
settings are used on the AP and the controller, and both devices are on the same subnet. No further
configuration is required.
After the discovery process is complete and the AP has established a secure management tunnel
to the controller, the Power LED remains on and the Ethernet and Radio LEDs flash to indicate the
presence of traffic.
For more information about using the AP controllers, see the controller configuration guide:

AP status LED states (with controller connection)
DescriptionStatus LED state
The AP is starting up.Power/System OK LED flashes every
two seconds.
The AP is looking for an IP address, or building the list of VLANs on which to
perform discovery. The management tool is available until discovery occurs.
Power/System OK LED flashes once
per second.
The AP has obtained an IP address and is attempting to discover a controller.Power/System OK, Ethernet, and
Radio LEDs flash in sequence from left
to right.
The AP has found a controller and is attempting to establish a secure
management tunnel with it.
Power/System OK LED is on, Ethernet
and Radio LEDs flash alternately.
The AP has received a discovery reply from two or more controllers with the
same priority setting. It cannot connect with either controller until the conflict is
resolved.
Power/System OK and Ethernet LEDs
flash alternately and quickly, Radio
LEDs are off.
The AP is attempting to establish a local mesh link to a master node.Power/System OK and Radio LEDs
flash slowly.
The AP is attempting to establish wired connectivity.Power/System OK and Ethernet LEDs
flash slowly.
