1 Insert a Cat 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector as shown in Figure 12.
For connection to an MP access point, use a straight-through cable.
2 When the link is activated, observe the MP LED for the port on the MX
switch:
MX Switch’s MP LED Meaning
Solid green For an MP access point’s active link, all the
following are true:
• MP access point has booted.
• MP access point has received a valid
configuration from the MX switch.
• Management link with an MP access point is
operational.
• At least one radio is enabled or is in sentry
mode.
For an MP access point’s secondary link, the
link is present.
Alternating green and
amber
MP access point is booting with an image
received from the MX switch. After the access
point boots and receives its configuration, this
LED appearance persists until a radio is enabled
or is placed in sentry mode.
Solid amber PoE is on.
Blinking amber MP is unresponsive or there is a PoE problem.
Unlit PoE is off.
Note. An MX switch’s 10/100 Ethernet ports are configured as wired network
ports by default. You or the system administrator must change the port type for
an MX port directly connected to an MP to activate the link. (See the Trapeze
Mobility Exchange Installation and Basic Configuration Guide.)
