The following table describes the icons in this screen.
Power This displays the AP’s power status.
(Full power) - the AP receives optimal power from the power sourcing equipment.
(Force Full Power- the power sourcing equipment provides full power to the AP even in
cases where a PoE injector that does not support PoE negotiation is used.
(Limited power) - the AP receives less than optimal power from the power sourcing
equipment. This may be due to the PoE switch/injector using an earlier PoE standard. This may
impact wireless transmission throughput or disable a radio transmitter, depending on the AP’s
power requirements.
(Off-Line) - the AP is not receiving power.
Bluetooth This field displays the AP’s Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capability. Bluetooth Low Energy, which is
also known as Bluetooth Smart, transmits less data over a shorter distance and consumes less
power than classic Bluetooth. APs communicate with other BLE enabled devices using
advertisements.
N/A displays if the AP does not support BLE.
Unavailable displays if the AP supports Bluetooth, but there is no BLE USB dongle connected to
the USB port of the AP. Some APs, such as the WAC5302D-S, need to have a supported BLE USB
dongle attached to act as a beacon to broadcast packets.
Available displays if the AP supports Bluetooth, detects a BLE device and advertising is inactive.
Advertising displays if the AP supports Bluetooth, detects a BLE device and advertising is
activated, which means the BLE device can broadcasts packets to every device around it.
Location This field displays the AP’s location you configured.
Roaming Group This field displays the name of roaming group to which the AP belongs.
S/N This field displays the serial number of the AP.
System Name This field displays the system name to identify the AP on a network.
Load Balancing
Group
This field displays the load balancing group(s) to which the AP belongs.
