Application Examples
On airOS®, you can modify the wireless LED signal strength threshold value in the Wireless
tab, under Signal LED Thresholds. Each LED will turn on when the wireless signal strength is
equal to or greater than the threshold value set for the LED indicator. The default threshold
values for these LED indicators are listed below:
Feeding
The LED indicator will light blue when the device is connected to a power source.
The LED indicator will turn solid blue when the device is connected to an Ethernet
network and will blink if there is activity.

Outdoor mounted PowerBeam with reflector installed provides directional
outdoor coverage (gain dependent on reflector).
The exterior mounted PowerBeam without the reflector installed provides exterior to
interior coverage only through the 3 dBi feed horn.
