The location of the access point status LED is shown in Types of connectors and ports on the access point.

Note

Regarding LED status colors, it is expected that there might be small variations in color intensity and hue from unit to unit. This is within the normal range of the LED manufacturer’s specifications and is not a defect. However, the intensity of the LED can be changed through the controller. When the AP is in Meraki management mode, the LED status indicators convey the status differently from the Cisco APs.

The access point status LED indicates various conditions, which are described in the following table.

Table 2. System LED status indications

AP Operating Mode When in on-prem/Catalyst mode
Message Type	LED State	Message Meaning
Boot loader status	Blinking green	Boot loader executing
Association status	Green	Normal operating condition, but no wireless client is associated
	Blue	Normal operating condition, at least one wireless client is associated
	Cycling through Green-red-off	Discovery/join in progress
	Cycling through Blue-green-red	AP location command
	Blinking red	Ethernet link not operational
	Red	Ethernet failure
	Blinking blue	Configuration recovery in progress
Boot loader warnings	Red	Image recovery
Environment pack error	Cycling through Green-White-Red-Green-White-Red Blinking	Error in operating condition of Environment pack

AP Operating Mode When in GUAPO/Meraki mode
Message Type	LED State	Message Meaning
Boot/Hardware Issue	Orange	AP is booting (permanent Orange suggests hardware issue)
Initializing/Scanning	Rainbow	AP is initializing/scanning
Upgrading	Blinking Blue	AP is upgrading
Gateway Ready (Idle)	Green	AP in Gateway mode with no clients
Gateway Active	Blue	AP in Gateway mode with clients
No Uplink/Connection Issue	Blinking Orange	AP can't find uplink
Environment pack error	Cycling through Green-White-Red-Green-White-Red Blinking	Error in operating condition of Environment pack

Important

Red states relate to manufacturing, RMA, or RI. For some older axe boards or builds, initiate the diagnostic image download process. The LED flashes blue and green while it downloads the diagnostic image.

Table 3. Ethernet port LED status indications

Message Type	LED State	Message Meaning
Ethernet Port 0/1 LED	Green	Ethernet link established at 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M
	Orange	Ethernet link at 1G/100M
	Blinking green	Data transmission is at 10G/5G/2.5G
	Blinking orange	Data transmission at 1G/100M

Using the Reset button (see Types of connectors and ports on the access point), you can reset the AP to factory default.

To reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration, perform the following steps:

1. Unplug the AP from the power source.

2. Hold the Reset button.

3. Power on the AP.

   Press, and continue to press the Reset button for the duration corresponding to your requirements listed in the table below:

   Reset option	Reset pin hold time	LED status
   0. Mode indication	~ 5 seconds	Blink green: Meraki mode Blink blue: Catalyst mode
   1. Config reset	> 10 seconds	Solid white
   2. Full reset (maintains management mode)	> 20 seconds	Orange
   3. FIPS reset (Catalyst mode only)	> 30 seconds	Solid red
   4. Factory reset (back to global use AP onboarding)	> 60 seconds	Solid pink
   5. Cancel reset	> 90 seconds	Not applicable

   Note	The reset operation is consistent with traditional Catalyst-managed AP deployments and is now integrated with Meraki-managed deployments.
