Summit WM series switch system states and LEDs
The Summit WM series switch has the two system states: Standby and Active.
It enters Standby state when shut down in the user interface. During this state, the Summit WM series
switch:
● sends a control message to Altitude APs to enter Standby state
● does not handle any wireless traffic or sessions
● disables DHCP, Policy Manager, Security Manager, Altitude AP Manager, and Redirector
● remains on the wired network
The Summit WM series switch enters Active state on startup in the user interface. It responds to the
Altitude AP's discover message by returning a message indicating that the Altitude AP can enter the
active state.
Activity and traffic monitoring
The activity and traffic on the Summit WM series switch is monitored via three LEDs on the back of the
Summit WM series switch. These LEDs are Link, Status, and 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.
This LED is only visible at the back of the Summit WM series switch
● Status LED: Indicates the state of the controller from software point of view, normal operation,
whether processes have gone down, are restarting, and so on. This LED is visible from both the front
and the back of the Summit WM series switch.
● Activity LED: Indicates the amount of traffic carried to and from Altitude APs. This LED is visible
from both the front and the back of the Summit WM series switch.
