LED States - Mesh Mode

GS202xE Mesh Satellite
(Backhaul pairing cycle can be started by WPS button press [3+
second press] or equivalent EWI or smartphone app activation)
Booting Up or SW Upgrade in Process

Unit is in the process of being boot up or service/software is
being upgraded

Flashing every 1 second on cyan color - assuming SW can
control the LEDs.
Boot-up Failure

Unit boot-up failed (if SW can control the LEDs)
WPS Pressed, Pairing Attempt has Begun

For Satellite/Mesh mode, upon pressing the WPS a single time
3+ seconds, WPS is enabled.

The LED bar begins to flash 0.5 second green/off and
continues to do so for up to 120 seconds.

If the Gateway has also initialized WPS during this time, the
Satellite can be paired to the Gateway Wi-Fi radios (5.0 GHz
band) thereby creating an association with the Gateway SSID.
Display Signal Strength (Positioning Strength)
Display strength after any of the following conditions (IP
address obtained):
1. Successful pairing completed
2. Re-start completed (and previous pairing with Gateway
restored)
3. Re-association of link with the Gateway after lost link (e.g.,
Gateway was powered down then restored)

If the pairing is successful, following will be the behavior of the
WPS/Strength LED:

If the Satellite is too close from Gateway but still connected,
LED will light up fast blinking green (250 msec).

* If the Satellite is too far from Gateway but still connected,
LED will light up slow blinking green (1000 msec).

* When the Satellite is at an ideal location from Gateway the
LED will light up steady green.

* After 60 seconds, the light bar begins to reflect Gateway
status (not shown in the illustration below). For example, cyan
for connected to the Internet
Gateway Not Found

If no device is found after the initial 120 second time-out, the
WPS/Strength LED bar shifts from the blinking Green to solid
Red.

LED bar remains red for another 60 seconds, then revert to the
No Internet failure status.

If pairing is accomplished, LED bar will change to reflect
Gateway status.
