Checking the Top Panel Indicators
The access point/bridge uses a blinking code to identify various error conditions. The code sequence uses
a two-digit diagnostic code that starts with a long pause to delimit the code, followed by the LED
flashing red to count out the first digit, then a short pause, followed by the LED flashing red to count out
the second digit.
The LED blinking error codes are described in Table 22-5.
