Getting to Know the Access Point Features
Reading the 7781CM LEDs
ZoneFlex Outdoor Access Point 9.8.1 User Guide, 800-70598-001 Rev B 38
NOTE The 7781CM LEDs turn off after a while. This is normal operation.
Reading LEDs in Access Point Mode
In AP mode, LED 1 (green LED) is lit.
NOTE The LEDs do not indicate whether the AP is in standalone mode or if
ZoneDirector is managing the AP. To check if ZoneDirector is managing the access
point, log into the ZoneDirector Web interface, go to the Access Points page, and
then search for the access point’s MAC address. If you are unable to find the access
point, then it is very likely in standalone mode. If you have multiple ZoneDirector
devices on the network, make sure you check each one of them.
For Cable Operators, APs will typically be in ZoneDirector mode after initial boot. If
the AP is unable to reach the ZoneDirector on initial boot, it remains in standalone
mode.
Refer to Tabl e 1 1 for a summary of AP mode LED behavior.
