Having the ability to quickly locate an Access Point (AP) within your network can be crucial for troubleshooting, maintenance, or installation tasks. The Meter Dashboard offers an easy way to physically identify and locate your APs using its built-in LED flashing feature. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you efficiently locate your APs.
How to Flash the LEDs on the Access Points
- Log in at dashboard.meter.com
- Navigate to Hardware > Access Points. This section will display all the APs associated with the network.
-
From the list of APs, choose the one you want to locate by clicking on it.
- This will open up the AP's Insights Page
- On the AP's Insights Page, click on the three horizontal dots (the Actions menu) on the top right side.
- Within the Actions menu, select "Flash LEDs". This will trigger the AP's LEDs to flash for 10 seconds, making it easier to identify the physical device on your premises.
- If you need to locate additional APs, simply repeat the steps for each AP.
If you have a large office space, using the Floor Plan view can provide a visual overview of where your APs are positioned on the premises. For more information on how to view APs on the floor plan, you can refer to this knowledge base article.
By following these steps, you can quickly and easily locate Access Points within your environment, saving time and effort during network troubleshooting or maintenance tasks.
