wifi-light

Function

The wifi-light command specifies the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED on an AP.

The undo wifi-light command restores the default parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED on an AP.

By default,

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.
If WDS is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength of signals received from a WDS AP.
- If the AP works in leaf mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength of signals received from a middle AP.
- If the AP works in middle mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength of signals received from a root AP.
- If the AP works in root mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the weakest signal strength of middle APs.
If the WDS and Mesh functions are disabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the service traffic volume on the radio.

Only APs having wireless LEDs support this command. To determine whether an AP has the Wireless LED, check the section Indicator Description in the Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide of the corresponding AP model.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
signal-strength	Sets the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED on an AP to signal strength. When the Wireless LED blinks fast, the signal strength is strong.	-
traffic	Sets the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED on an AP to service traffic volume. When the Wireless LED blinks fast, the service traffic volume is high.	-

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

During installation and commissioning of APs that have the WDS or Mesh function enabled, you need to adjust WDS or Mesh AP locations and antenna directions to obtain strong signals. If the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED shows the signal strength, onsite installation personnel can know the signal strength in real time. The wifi-light command allows you to specify the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED. For example, you can specify the parameter to signal strength during installation and service traffic volume after installation.

Precautions

This command takes effect only when the AP has the WDS or Mesh function enabled. If the WDS and Mesh functions are disabled on the AP, the Wireless LED always shows service traffic volume.

Example

# Set the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED on an AP to service traffic volume.
