Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables
Powering Up the Access Point
When power is applied to the access point, it begins a routine power-up sequence that you can monitor
by observing the three LEDs on top of the access point. After you observe all three LEDs turning green
to indicate the starting of the IOS operating system, the Status LED blinks green signifying that IOS is
operational. When in an operational status, the Ethernet LED is steady green when no traffic is being
passed and dark during periods when traffic is being passed. The sequence takes about 1 minute to
complete. Refer to
Chapter 21, "Troubleshooting,"
for LED descriptions.
When the sequence is complete, you are ready to obtain the access point's IP address and perform an
initial configuration. Refer to
Chapter 3, "Configuring the Access Point for the First Time,"
for
instructions on assigning basic settings to the access point.
