 The Installation Steps

Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point Quick Installation Guide

5

Connect the Power

The power adapter connects to the rear of the access point and 
to a power outlet.

1.

Verify that the power adapter matches the country-of-use 
requirements.

2.

Plug the power adapter cable into the socket at the back of 
the access point.

3.

Plug the adapter into an outlet. The access point functions 
without user intervention after setup. 

If you are using an IIntel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Power 
Injector, see the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Power 
Injector Quick Installation Guide
 for more installation 
instructions.

Check the LED Indicators

Check the LED indicators to verify that the unit is functioning 
correctly. Although there are six LEDs, only three are 
operational. The three indicators shown left to right are:

Power

 LAN

 Wireless

After the access point is initialized, the LEDs should behave as 
follows. 

The power LED should be lit. 

If the access point is connected to a LAN through an 
Ethernet cable, the LAN LED should be blinking. 

If the access point is communicating with a wireless 
adapter, the Wireless LED should be blinking steadily. The 
Wireless LED blinks faster when the access point is 
sending or receiving information from a wireless adapter.

If the access point fails to initialize, restart the access point by 
disconnecting and reconnecting the power.
