1142 Color Codes

[Mehmet Emin Yagci]

Hi ;

We have deployed many 1142 APs on a site.When i have checked color codes , some of thems LEDs are static green which we have expected.But some of them are not giving out any light.But from the controller menu i saw them active and operating.And i can connect that APs but no led is lid.

When i get closer to the AP i saw a Red color which can not be seen from distance (Not Red flashing LED).What the possible error can be ? Is it a factory default mistake or so ?

Solid Green = WAP has booted up fine and has joined controller.  No user has associated this WAP.

Solid BLUE = Same as above except at least ONE user have associated this WAP.  Associated and authenticated are NOT the same.

Blinking = WAP is booting

RED = Hardware fault

[Mehmet Emin Yagci]

The problem is , AP doesnt give out any lights.LED doesnt light on.

But from the controller ; i saw AP is operating , and i can connect on it.

Here is output of booting AP that can successfully join the contoller , and this is happening in more than one AP

Hi, maybe LEDs on APs are disabled?

You cant try to use this command on your WLC:

• (Cisco Controller) >config ap led-state enable

Or if you need to disable LED, use :

• (Cisco Controller) >config ap led-state disable all

[Mehmet Emin Yagci]

In 7.0.220.0 version there is not color led enable / disable on the GUI.

I dont know why but something made the APs leds turn off.I have tested more than 5 of them some of thems operate properly with LEDs but some of turned off by default.

But at least this command has solved it.Thanks.

That is a good news to hear!
