Symptom
Action
POWER LED is Off
• AC power adapter may be disconnected. Check connections
between the access point, the power adapter, and the wall
outlet.
WLAN LED is Off
• The access point’s radio has been disabled through it’s web
management interface. Access the management interface
using a web browser to enable the WLAN radio. (Refer to the
Management Guide for more information.)
INTERNET LED is Off • Verify that the access point and attached device are powered
on.
• Be sure the cable is plugged into both the access point and
corresponding device.
• Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does
not exceed specified limits.
• Check the cable connections for possible defects. Replace the
defective cable if necessary.
Crossover Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are
labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X” (MDI), a
crossover must be implemented in the wiring.

SPECIFICATIONS
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments
For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two
pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For
example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes.
Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Caution:
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a
specific orientation. (See “Crossover Wiring” and “Crossover
Wiring” for an explanation.)
Caution:
DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. Use
only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with
FCC standards.
The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are
numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation
when attaching the wires to the pins.
Straight-Through Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports
has an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be
straight-through.
