When the bridge is connectedd to power, the LEDs indicate as follows:
Connecting an MP to an MX
You can connect an MP directly to an MX or indirectly to the MX through an intermediate Layer 2
or Layer 3 network. If you are connecting the MP directly to an MX, use the following procedure to
insert the cable into the MX and verify the link.
You can use the CLI or RingMaster to configure an MP connection. If you are installing the
MP-622 as a Mesh AP in a WLAN Mesh or wireless bridge configuration, you must configure the
MP connection before deploying the MP-622 in its final location. (See the Mobility System
Software Configuration Guide.)
Figure 3–7 shows how to insert a Cat 5 cable into 10/100 Ethernet port on an MX. Refer to this
figure as you perform the procedure.
LED Color Indicates
Power Green The bridge is powered up and operating normally.
Off The bridge is not receiving power or there is a fault with the power
supply.
Amber The system is under cold reset status.
Link Green The bridge has a 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connection, but there is no
activity.
Flashing Indicates that the bridge is transmitting or receiving data on a 10/100
Mbps Ethernet LAN. Flashing rate is proportional to network activity.
Off No link is present or the Ethernet LAN port is disabled.

Note:
For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable, consider using a
lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building.
