Make sure that the cable sits securely in both sockets. If the cable is connected correctly and the Access Point LED is blinking, try pinging the Access Point at it's IP address. To do this: ¨ Open a Windows command prompt on the console (Type cmd in the search bar of the Windows start menu and press ENTER) ¨ Type ping followed by the IP address of the Access Point you want to test ¨ If the connection is working correctly it will return "Reply from ..." at the command prompt ¨ If the connection is not working you will return "Request timed out" at the command promt 4.2 Replacing the Access Point If the cabling (Ethernet / POE) has been tested and the LED on the Access Point is still not on, or if it is not possible to ping the Access Point from the Console, then the Access Point has to be replaced.
