Power Up and Software Configuration
The WLP unit is normally mounted on a streetlight (pole or wall) where it is
inconvenient to configure. Therefore, it is recommended that wireless
communication be established to the unit prior to installation, so that the
unit can later be configured and monitored from the ground. To verify
communications when installing the WLP unit, the Mesh-Gateways must be
installed and powered up first.
The LEDs on the WLP unit indicate the status of communications between
the WLP unit and the network. See Table 6 for more information on the
LED indicators.
The ACT LED on the Mesh-Gateway should be checked to verify that wired
communications have been established. The BH LED on the Mesh-Gateway
should be checked to verify that wireless communications have been
established.
When powering up a Mesh-Node, the BH LED should be lit to verify that
the WLP unit’s wireless communication is connected. WLP boot time is
about 2.5 minutes. The BH LED indicator will light up after the boot is
completed.
