Understanding Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point LEDs
Note Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access points are designed to work behind a router or other
gateway device that is using network address translation (NAT). NAT allows a device, such as a home
router or gateway, to act as an agent between the Internet (public) and a personal network (private),
thereby enabling an entire group of computers to be represented by a single IP address. Only one Cisco
Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access point can be deployed behind a single NAT device.
