802.11b], it does not light, even if the main power is on.
2.If it is connected properly to the network, the LED is green when in infra-
structure mode. If the LED is blinking, the machine is searching for devices.
❖When using in adhoc mode / 802.11 adhoc mode
1.If the IEEE 802.11b interface unit is working, it is lit in orange.
2.If it is connected properly to the network, the LED is green when in adhoc
mode or 802.11 adhoc mode. If the LED is blinking, the machine is searching
for devices. The LED will light after a few seconds.
