Understanding the Network Status LEDs
The AP includes LED indicators to indicate network link status and activity. The
LEDs are shown below and are described in the following table.
Figure 19: Network Status LEDs
How to Connect to Radio Interfaces
The 802.11a standard operates in the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information
Infrastructure (UNII) band, and the 802.11b/g standard in the 2.4 GHz band. The
802.11n standard operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Once the AP is installed and powered on, wireless clients can connect to the
802.11b/g/n radio interface using the 2.4 GHz band, or to the 802.11a/n radio using
the 5 GHz band. The radio and authentication settings for wireless clients can be
configured through management interfaces. For more information, refer to the
Management Guide.
