Checking the Top Panel Indicators Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Checking the Top Panel Indicators If your access point is not communicating, check the three indicators on the top panel. You can use them to quickly assess the unit's status. Figure 7-1 shows the indicators. Figure 7-1 Indicators on the 1200 Series Access Point Radio Status Ethernet 74046 The indicators signals have the following meanings: • The Ethernet indicator signals traffic on the wired LAN, or Ethernet infrastructure. 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 access point is operating normally but is not associated with any wireless devices. Steady green indicates that the access point is associated with a wireless client. For repeater access points, blinking 50% on, 50% off indicates the repeater is not associated with the root access point; blinking 7/8 on, 1/8 off indicates that the repeater is associated with the root access point but no client devices are associated with the repeater; steady green indicates that the repeater is associated with the root access point and client devices are associated with the repeater. • The radio indicator blinks green to indicate radio traffic activity. The light is normally off, but it blinks green whenever a packet is received or transmitted over the access point's radio. Note The Radio and Status indicators are used for both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio operation. Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide 7-2 OL-2155-02
