7 Checking the LED Indicators The bridge's 11a and 11b/g LEDs operate in two display modes, which are configurable through the software. The default AP mode indicates data traffic rates. The RSSI mode indicates the received signal power and is for use when aligning antennas in a bridge link. When the bridge is connected to power, LEDs indicate as follows: 11b/g 11a Power Link LED Power Link 11a (Three LEDs) 11g (Three LEDs) Color Green Off Amber Green Flashing Off Green and Flashing Off Amber and Flashing Off Indicates The bridge is powered up and operating normally. The bridge is not receiving power or there is a fault with the power supply. The system is under cold reset status. The bridge has a 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connection, but there is no activity.

Checking the LED Indicators
The bridge’s 11a and 11b/g LEDs operate in two display modes, which are configurable through the
software. The default AP mode indicates data traffic rates. The RSSI mode indicates the received signal
power and is for use when aligning antennas in a bridge link.
When the bridge is connected to power, LEDs indicate as follows:
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.
