When the WDS/mesh function is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of its Wireless LED indicates
the receive signal strength on the WDS/mesh connection by default. After you connect an AP to a WDS/
mesh network, you can run the wifi-light { signal-strength | traffic } command on the AC to make the
Wireless LED blinking frequency indicate receive signal strength or service traffic rate.
lwifi-light signal-strength:
l If the mesh function is enabled on the AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects
the weakest signal strength of all neighboring APs.
l If WDS is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength
of signals received from a WDS AP.
l If the AP works in leaf mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength
of signals received from a middle AP.
l If the AP works in middle mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the
strength of signals received from a root AP.
l If the AP works in root mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the weakest

4.1 An device Fails to Be Powered On
Fault Description
The SYS indicator of a device is off.
Possible Causes
lThe power sourcing equipment does not support the PoE function or is faulty.
lThe power sourcing equipment is incorrectly configured (the PoE function is disabled or
the power-off time range is improperly set).
lThe line is faulty (the network cable or distribution frame is damaged).
lThe AP is faulty.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1.Check whether the power sourcing equipment supports PoE or is faulty.
2.Check whether the configuration on the power sourcing equipment causes PoE power
supply errors, such as the PoE function is disabled or the power-off time range is incorrectly
set.
3.Check whether the network cable or distribution frame is faulty.
4.If the device still cannot be powered on, the device itself is faulty. Contact Huawei technical
support engineers or Huawei agent and ask them to replace the device.
4 Hardware Failures
4.2 An Optical Interface Cannot Turn Up
Fault Description
After an optical interface is connected to a remote device through an optical fiber, its LINK
indicator is off.
Possible Causes
lThe optical fiber is faulty.
lThe optical module on the optical interface cannot meet the requirements.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1.Replace the optical fiber and optical module and check whether the optical interface can
turn Up. Ensure that the optical module meets the following requirements.
2.Determine optical module attributes.
l The optical module has passed Huawei certification.
l The transmission speed of the optical module is the same as the interface speed.
l The wavelength of the optical module is the same as that of the remote optical module.
l The transmission distance of the optical module is suitable for the actual distance
between the two devices.
Issue 03 (2015-05-18)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
l The transmission distance of an optical module is 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, 40 km, or 80 km.
The optical modules with a longer transmission distance have a higher transmit power. If an
optical module with a long transmission distance is used for short-distance transmission, the
optical interface cannot turn Up because the transmit power is too high. The high transmit
power may even burn the receiver of the remote optical module. To reduce the transmit power
in this situation, use an optical attenuator between the optical module and optical fiber.
l Optical modules with different speeds are available, for example, 155 Mbit/s, 622 Mbit/s,
and 1.25 Gbit/s. It is recommended that you use an optical module with the same speed as
the optical interface to ensure efficient optical transmission.
3.If the interface remains Down, contact Huawei technical support.

lDo not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Pull out the connector
by using a dedicated tool. Install the connector again after you check that the pins are
inserted properly.
lBefore tightening screws on cable connectors, ensure that the connectors are properly
connected to their adapters. Tighten the screw with appropriate force using a flat-head or
Phillips screwdriver instead of bare hands or an electric screwdriver. If the screw cannot
be screwed into the tapped hole, find out the reason and try again. Do not screw it with too
much force, or the screw or adapter may be damaged.
lWhen removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such as
cable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.
R ≥ 40 mm (1.57 in.); Bending angle > 90°
lDo not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.
lCover the fiber connectors that are not in use by using dustproof caps. Remove the dustproof
caps before using the fiber connectors.
Requirements for Cable Routing
lTo protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective rings in
the holes.
lTo ease the connection and to avoid stress, keep slack at cable joints. After connecting
multiple cables to a connector that has multiple interfaces, keep the cables slack to avoid
stress generation.
lBind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.
lKeep cables away from moveable components such as doors.

Net heightThe minimum height of the equipment room should not be less than 3 m
(9.84 ft). The minimum height of the equipment room is the net height
below overhead beams or ventilation pipes.
FloorThe floor in the equipment room should be semi-conductive and dustproof.
A raised floor with an ESD covering is recommended. Cover the raised
floor tightly and solidly. The horizontal tolerance of each square meter
should be less than 2 mm (0.08 in.). If raised floors are unavailable, use a
static-electricity-conductive floor material, with a volume resistivity of 1.0
x 107 ohms to 1.0 x 1010 ohms. Ground this floor material or raised floor.
You can connect them to ground using a one megohm current-limiting
Load-bearing
resistor and connection line.
The floor must bear loads larger than 150 kg/m2 (0.21 bf/in.2).
