Verify the Correct Sequence of Events at Start Up
After you turn on power to the wireless access point, check that the following
sequence of events occurs:
The Power/Test LED is first steady amber, then goes off, and then blinks green before
turning steady green after about 45 seconds.
The Active LED is lit or blinks green when there is Ethernet traffic.
The LAN LED indicates the LAN speed: green for 1000
Mbps, amber for 100
Mbps, and
no light for 10 Mbps.
The WLAN LED is lit or blinks green when the wireless LAN (WLAN) is ready.
If any of these conditions does not occur, see to the appropriate following section.
No LEDs Are Lit on the Wireless Access Point
It takes a few seconds for the Power LED to light up. Wait a minute and check the Power LED
status on the wireless access point. If the wireless access point has no power:
If you use one or more PoE switches to provide power to the wireless access point,
check these items:
Make sure that the Ethernet cables between the wireless access point and the PoE
switches are correctly connected at both ends.
Make sure that the power cords of the PoE switches are plugged into working power
outlets or power strips.
Make sure that the PoE switches are functioning normally.
