2. Check the LEDs on the access point as described below.
When the access point is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test.
The self test takes approximately 50 seconds to complete.
LED Behavior:
During the self test:
• The 10/100Base-TX and Wireless LEDs go off and then may come on
again during phases of the self test. For the duration of the self test,
the Power LED blinks.
When the self test completes successfully:
•The Power LED remains on.
•The 10/100Base-TX and Wireless LEDs on the top of the access point
go into their normal operational mode:
– If the ports are connected to active network devices, the LEDs
should be on.
– If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the LEDs
stay off.
If the LED display is different than what is described above, especially if
the Power LED does not stop blinking, the self test has not completed
correctly. Refer to chapter 5, “Troubleshooting” for diagnostic help.
