Component Description
Antennas
The access point includes integrated internal diversity antennas for wireless
comunications. A diversity antenna system uses two identical antennas to receive
and transmit signals, helping to avoid multipath fading effects. When receiving, the
access point checks both antennas and selects the one with the strongest signal.
When transmitting, it will continue to use the antenna previously selected for
receiving. The access point never transmits from both antennas at the same time.
LED Indicators
The access point includes four status LED indicators, as described in the following
figure and table.

data through wireless links. Flashing rate is proportional
to network activity.
Off Indicates the 802.11g radio is disabled.
WAN On Green Indicates a valid link on the Ethernet port.
Flashing Green Indicates that the access point is transmitting or receiving
