Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Autonomous Access Points and Bridges
Checking the LEDs on an Autonomous Access Point/Bridge
The autonomous 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.
— Blinking
green
— — Root bridge mode—no remote bridges are associated.
Non-root bridge mode—not associated to the root bridge.
If all bridges are powered up, this could be caused by incorrect SSID
and security settings or improper antenna alignment. You should check
the SSID and security settings of all bridges and verify antenna
alignment.
If the problem continues, contact technical support for assistance.
— Green — — Root mode—associated to at least one remote bridge.
Non-root mode—associated to the root bridge.
This is normal operation.
— Blinking
amber
— — General warning—disconnect and reconnect the power injector power
jack. If the problem continues, contact technical support for
assistance.
— Amber — — Loading firmware.
Red Amber Red — Loading Firmware error—disconnect and reconnect the power injector
power. If the problem continues, contact technical support for
assistance.
— — Off — Normal operation.
— — Blinking
green
— Transmitting and receiving radio packets—normal operation.
— — Blinking
amber
— Maximum retries or buffer full occurred on the radio
interface—disconnect and reconnect the power injector power jack. If
the problem continues, contact technical support for assistance.
— — Amber — Radio firmware error—disconnect and reconnect power injector
power. If the problem continues, contact technical support for
assistance.
———Amber
blinking
Not associated (non-root mode). The access point/bridge attempts to
associate with a root bridge for 60 seconds
1
.
— — — Amber Associated (non-root mode).
———Green
blinking
Not associated (root mode). The access point/bridge attempts to
associate with a non-root bridge indefinitely.
— — — Green Associated (root mode).
— — — Red Overcurrent or overvoltage error—disconnect power to the power
injector, check all coax cable connections, wait approximately 1
minute, and reconnect power. If error continues, contact technical
support.
1. Preconfigured bridges search indefinitely.
