For detailed installation instructions, refer to the AQL2-BASE-RF instruction manual.

RF
The RF LED should be on most or all of the time.
Tx
The Tx LED should be blinking.
Rx
The Rx LED should be on most of the time.
Link
The LINK LED should be blinking on at least once a minute, usually 4 times per minute.
If the LEDs do not light up as described above, then disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable connection.
