Example screens showing the Current State as "Functional" are shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 32. An example screen showing the Current State as "Send Probe" is shown in Figure 3-5.

In this state, the LED indicators display as follows: Indicator Power Wired LAN Activity Wireless LAN Activity Activity Remains on Flashes if activity occurs Flickers rapidly Table 3-2: LED Indicators - Functional State When the access point is in the Functional state, it may or may not have successfully made a wireless AP connection. You can determine if a wireless AP connection has occurred by viewing the WLAP RF Statistic screen. If this screen lists one or more access points as being in the FWD state in the Itf State column, then the current access point has made a wireless AP connection. For examples of screens showing the FWD state, refer to Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2. 3.3.2 Send Probe State Under certain conditions, an access point may remain in the Send Probe state (Figure 3-5) rather than continue on to the Functional state. In this state, the LED indicators display as follows: Indicator Power Wired LAN Activity Wireless LAN Activity Activity Remains on Remains off Blinks slowly (once per second) Configuring Access Point Bridging and Repeating (WLAP Mode) 9
