Summit WM-Series Switch system states and LEDs
The Summit WM-Series Switch has the two system states: Standby and Active.
It enters “Standby” when shut down in the Summit WM-Series Switch Configuration – System Maintenance
screen. The Summit WM-Series Switch:
● sends control message to Altitude AP to enter “Standby” state
● will not handle any wireless traffic or sessions
● disables DHCP, Policy Manager, Security Manager, Altitude AP Manager, Redirector
● remains on the wired network
It enters “Active” state on startup in the user interface. The Summit WM-Series Switch can now respond
to the Altitude AP's “discover” message by returning a message that the Altitude AP can enter the
“active” state.
The activity and traffic on the Summit WM-Series Switch can be monitored via three LEDs on the back
of the Summit WM-Series Switch: Link, Status, Activity.
The three LEDs perform the following functions:
● Link LED: Displays the link status of management port Ethernet link as seen by the system software.
● Status LED: Indicates the state of the CM from software point of view, normal operation, whether
processes have gone down and are restarting, etc.
● Activity LED: Indicates the amount of traffic carried to and from Altitude APs.
The Link LED is only seen at the back of the Summit WM-Series Switch. The Status and Activity LEDs
can be seen from both the front and the back of the Summit WM-Series Switch.
The sequence of the Status and Activity LEDs is as follows:
System State Status LED Activity LED

Startup Manager Task started Solid Amber Blinking Amber
Startup Manager Task completes startup – all components started Solid Green Blinking green, if traffic
