Flashing indicates access point initialization. Steady green indicates operation. |
The unused LED indicators are reserved for future use.
In WLAP mode, an access point forwards data to another access point using the wireless connection rather than Ethernet cabling. This chart describes the LED indicator status when the access point is in WLAP mode. This applies to the IEEE 802.11 protocol and access points using firmware version 4.00-20 or above only.

When the manual BSSID is set and the specified WLAP is not found, the WLAP remains in FULL Scan state permanently. The LEDs show the following permanently:

When the WLAP manual BSSID is set with the broadcast bit ON and the specified WLAP is not found, the WLAP tries to associate with another WLAP. If it cannot find another WLAP, it goes to Functional state.
When the Ethernet Timeout in the System Configuration menu is set to 3, the WLAP keeps track of the WLAP Alive BPDU. If the BPDU is missing for WLAP Hello Time seconds, the WLAP state changes to WLAP Lost on Ethernet and the LEDs show the following:
