WLAN Troubleshooting
Unit status and password recovery

If the AP is not communicating, check the three LED indicators on the top panel. The unit status can be checked quickly. Figure shows the indicators for the AP350, AP1100, AP1200, and BR350. The indicator signal meanings for the 1100 and 1200 are shown in Figure .

The Ethernet indicator signals traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. This indicator is normally green when an Ethernet cable is connected, and blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. The indicator is off when the Ethernet cable is not connected.

The status indicator signals operational status. Steady green indicates that the access point is associated with at least one wireless client. Blinking green indicates that the access point is operating normally but is not associated with any wireless devices.

The radio indicator blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the radio of the access point.

Using the MODE Button on 1100 and 1200 models, follow the steps in Figure to delete the current configuration and return all AP settings to the factory defaults using the MODE button. The access point is configured with the factory default values, including the IP address, and is set to receive an IP address using DHCP.

The client adapter shows messages and error conditions through its two LEDs , :

  • Link Integrity/Power LED (green) – This LED lights when the client adapter is receiving power and blinks slowly when the adapter is linked with the network.
  • Link Activity LED (amber) – This LED blinks quickly when the client adapter is receiving or transmitting data and blinks in a repeating pattern to indicate an error condition.
