This indicator blinks green when a packet is received or transmitted over the Ethernet infrastructure. • The status indicator signals operational status. Blinking green indicates that the bridge is operating normally but is not associated with any wireless devices. Steady green indicates that the bridge is associated with a wireless client. For repeater bridges, blinking 1/2 on, 1/2 off indicates the repeater is not associated with the root bridge; blinking 7/8 on, 1/8 off indicates that the repeater is associated with the root bridge but no client devices are associated with the repeater; steady green indicates that the repeater is associated with the root bridge and client devices are associated with the repeater. • The radio indicator blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity.
