Checking the Top Panel Indicators
Note Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there will be small variations in color intensity and hue
from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturer’s specifications and is not a
defect.
Indicators on 1130 Series Access Points
If your access point is not working properly, check the LED ring on the top panel or the Ethernet and
Radio LEDs in the cable bay area. You can use the LED indications to quickly assess the unit’s status.
