LEDs

The LEDs of your NWA/WAC can be controlled such that they stay lit (ON) or OFF after the NWA/WAC is ready. There are two features that controls the LEDs of your NWA/WAC - Locator and Suppression.

 Suppression 

The LED Suppression feature allows you to control how the LEDs of your NWA/WAC behave after it’s ready. The deafult LED suppression setting of your AP is different depending on your NWA/WAC model.

You can go to the Maintenance > LEDs > Suppression screen to see the default LED behavior and change the LED suppression setting. After you make changes in the suppression screen, it will be stored as the default when the NWA/WAC is restarted. See (LEDs) for information on default values for different models.

Note: When the NWA/WAC is booting or performing firmware upgrade, the LEDs will lit regardless of the setting in LED suppression.

Locator 

The Locator feature identifies the location of your WAC among several devices in the network. You can run this feature and set a timer in this screen.

The Locator LED will start to blink for the number of minutes set in the Locator screen. The default setting is 10 minutes. While the locator is running, the turn on button will grey out and return after it’s finished. If you make changes to the time default setting, it will be stored as the defualt when the WAC restarts.
