Features
Status Indicators
The three indicators on the top of the access point report Ethernet activity, association status, and radio
activity.
• The Ethernet indicator signals Ethernet 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. 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 signals wireless traffic over the radio interface. The light is normally off, but it
blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point radio.
Figure 1-1 shows the three status indicators.

Power Sources
The access point can receive power from an external power module or through inline power using the
Ethernet cable. Using inline power, you do not need to run a separate power cord to the access point. The
access point supports the following power sources:
• Power supply (input 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz, output 48 VDC, 0.2A minimum)
• Inline power from:
– Cisco Aironet Power Injector for 1100 and 1200 series access points
– A switch capable of providing inline power, such as Cisco Catalyst 3500XL, 3550, 4500, or
6500 switches
