The Radio Port 230 has two LEDs indicators displaying connection status, error conditions, and networking
activity for each of the two radios. Operation is as follows:
Startup:
Radio Port Startup occurs immediately following the application of PoE power, or following a power or
software reset.
1. Both GREEN and AMBER LEDs light steadily for several seconds, while the Radio Port performs an
internal self-test.
2. The AMBER LED then flashes 3 times per second, while the GREEN LED is off. This indicates that the
Radio POrt is attempting to communicate to a compatible wireless services-enabled switch.
3. Both LEDs then go off for a moment, followed by both LEDs lighting steadily for a few seconds.
4. After this sequence, assuming no error conditions have occurred, the Radio Port will enter Normal
operation mode. This means that the Radio Port has successfully communicated with and been
adopted by a wireless services-enabled switch. If this startup sequence repeats itself, then it is likely
that the Radio Port is unable to contact a compatible wireless services-enabled switch, and the
installer should review the Troubleshooting section below.
Normal Operation:
Once the Radio Port has established a connection to a compatible wireless services-enabled switch, the
Radio Port will begin normal operation. During normal operation, the GREEN LED indicates status of the
802.11 b/g radio, and the AMBER LED indicates status of the 802.11a radio.
•Without Wireless Traffic: Each LED will briefly flash once every 5 seconds, to indicate that power is
on, and the Radio Port is communicating normally to its wireless services-enabled switch. The flashing
may not be synchronous between the two LED indicators.
•With Wireless Traffic: Each LED will briefly flash more frequently than once every 5 seconds, and in an
irregular fashion, to represent wireless traffic on that radio.
Radio Error Mode:
• The GREEN LED flashes on and off steadily once per second if an error prevents the 802.11b/g radio
from operating normally.
• The AMBER LED flashes on and off steadily once per second if an error prevents the 802.11a radio
from operating normally.
Radio Port 210 LED Indicators
The Radio Port 210 has two LEDs indicators displaying connection status, error conditions, and networking
activity for its 802.11 b/g radio. Operation is as follows:
Startup Radio:
•Operation of the indicators is identical to the Radio Port 230 during Startup.
Normal Operation:
•During Normal Operation, the GREEN LED will flash to indicate connection and traffic on the 802.11b/
g radio, similar to the Radio Port 230. The AMBER LED will remain off.
Radio Error Mode:
•The GREEN LED flashes on and off steadily once per second if an error prevents the 802.11b/g radio
from operating normally.
Installation Instructions.
The ProCurve Radio Port 230 and 210 can be mounted either on a wall or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. The Radio Port
are not designed for mounting on a desk. The diagrams on the next page note the key installation features.
To prepare for installation, perform the following steps:
