Troubleshooting
The following information should help you diagnose basic setup or installation problems.
POWER Indicator is OFF: If the Power LED goes off, please make sure that your power outlet is working properly (perhaps by testing with another
device). Then, plug in your WAP-5940 again and make sure to press the Power Button to the ON position (IN).
ETHERNET LED is OFF: If the ETHERNET LED fails to light up, check that the LAN port of the WAP-5940 unit is connected firmly to the LAN port of the
other device. To check the condition of the Ethernet cable, use another cable to test the same connection.
WPS LED is OFF: If the WPS LED(s) fails to light up, press and release the WPS Button on the device setup in AP Mode. Within two minutes press
and release the WPS Button on the device setup in Client Mode (during this time both WPS LEDs will blink). Upon successful connection the WPS
LEDs will light up solid GREEN on both of the Wireless Video Bridges.
AP LED is OFF: WAP-5940 in Client Mode. Set the Wireless Video Bridge to AP Mode by sliding the AP/Client Switch to the up position.
CLIENT LED is OFF: WAP-5940 in AP Mode. Set the Wireless Video Bridge to Client Mode by sliding the AP/Client Switch to the down position.
RESET: If you have tried the above and are still experiencing problems, you can reset both devices to factory default by using a pin to push in
the Reset Button for more than 5 seconds, then release the button.
