Collecting Debugging Information When you find the Altai AP work abnormally, you can follow below items to make a first check if AP have a issue, then can report to us. • Check the power LED on the unit and make sure there is no power failure issue. • Check the Ethernet LED on the unit for any networking issue. • Connect to console and check if it is still working. A working console implies the system is still running. Or it is busy on something and giving slow responses to the commands • Check the network connection status with “ping” tool. Try to ping the network gateway, • ping devices inside the network and ping the internet with an IP address or with a host • name. • Check if the radio is still working by scanning the wireless beacons.
