Power LED: The following table describes the Power LED states.

Table 2. Power LED States Description
  Green Orange
Solid Running at full capability Running at reduced capability
Blinking Received IP address, but not connected to the server Did not receive an IP address

Reduced capability indicates that the AP is getting lower than the required maximum power from the PoE switch, i.e., 802.3af instead of 802.3at.

LAN1 LED: ON when the corresponding interface is up.

LAN2 LED: ON when the corresponding interface is up and either wired guest or link aggregation is configured.

Radio LEDs: ON when the corresponding radio is operational.

Rear panel

The rear panel of the AP has its DC power port and 802.3at compliant PoE LAN ports to power the device and connect it to a wired LAN.
