LED Pattern for Catalysts IW9167 and IW9165

LED Pattern for Catalyst IW9167

The Catalyst IW9167E follows the below LED pattern during booting process (Blinking green) during a normal booting process:

Table 1. Definition of Booting LED Pattern
Events	LED State
Boot loader status sequence: DRAM memory test in progress DRAM memory test OK Board initialization in progress Initialization FLASH file system FLASH memory test OK Initializing Ethernet Ethernet OK Starting AP OS Initialization Successful	Blinking green
When you press the reset button for less than 20 seconds	Blinking red
When you press the reset button for more than 20 seconds	Solid red
When reset button is released Or When you press the reset button for more than 60 seconds	Blinking green

Once the access point boots up, the Catalyst IW9167E follows these below LED patterns:

Table 2. Definition of URWB OS LED Pattern
AP State	LED State
General warning: Insufficient inline power	Cycling through red, green, and amber
Provisioning mode: Fallback	Blinking amber
Provisioning mode: DHCP	Amber
SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) Excellent (>=25 dB)	Blinking green
SNR Good (15<=X<25 dB)	Fade-in green
SNR Bad (10<=X<15 dB)	Fade-in amber
SNR Unbearable (<10 dB)	Fade-in red

LED Pattern for Catalyst IW9165

The Catalyst IW9165E has tri-color red, green, and blue LED. The Catalyst IW9165D has red, green, and amber LED with three brightness levels. The access point is flexible with brightness levels. The controller CLI or GUI controls the brightness with eight different settings.

System LED's in the URWB stack have following patterns to indicate URWB states:

AP State	LED State
Fallback	Blinking amber or blue
DHCP	Amber or blue

RSSI LED

The Catalyst IW9165 supports a bi-color green and amber LED to show the RF Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). The RSSI LED does not have different brightness level.

Table 4. RSSI LEDs
Yellow LED	Green LED	Description
Blink	Off	RSSI < - 86 dBm
On	Off	RSSI is - 86 to - 81 dBm
Off	Blink	RSSI is - 81 to - 71 dBm
Off	On	RSSI > - 71 dBm

The following table shows the LED functionalities for the Catalyst IW9165E:
