Status lights
The status lights provide different information depending on whether the AP is operating in
autonomous mode or controlled mode. For more information on these modes, see “About controlled
mode and autonomous mode” (page 10).
Autonomous mode
In autonomous mode, the status lights indicate the following:
DescriptionStateLight
The AP has no power.OffPower
The AP is fully operational.On
The AP is starting up. If the Power light continues to blink after several minutes, it indicates
that the software failed to load. Reset or power cycle the AP. If this condition persists,
contact HP Support.
Blinking
The port is not connected or there is no activity.OffEthernet
The port is transmitting or receiving data.Blinking
The radio is transmitting or receiving data.BlinkingRadio
Controlled mode
During startup/discovery in controlled mode, the status lights indicate the following:
DescriptionStatus light behavior
The AP is starting up.Power light blinks every two seconds.
The AP is looking for an IP address, or building the list of
VLANs on which to perform controller discovery. The
management tool is available until discovery occurs.
Power light blinks once per second.
The AP has obtained an IP address and is attempting to
discover a controller.
Power, Ethernet, and Radio, lights blink in sequence from
left to right.
The AP has found a controller and is attempting to establish
a secure management tunnel with it.
Power light is on. Ethernet and Radio lights blink
alternately.
The AP has received a discovery reply from two or more
controllers with the same priority setting. The AP is unable
to connect with either controller until the conflict is resolved.
Power and Radio lights blink alternately and quickly.
Ethernet light is off.
The AP is attempting to establish a local mesh link to a
master node.
Power and Radio lights blink slowly.
The AP is attempting to establish wired connectivity.Power and Ethernet lights blink slowly.
Once the discovery process is complete, and the AP has established a secure management tunnel
to a controller, the Power light remains on and the Ethernet and Radio lights blink to indicate the
presence of traffic.
Ports
The AP has two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors. Port 1 supports Power over
Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af. In controlled mode, Port 1 should be used. In autonomous mode, Port 1
or Port 2 can be used.
Radio and antennas
The MSM310 has a single radio, with two antennas for diversity.
