207 Series Hardware Overview
LEDs
The 207 Series access points have two LEDs that indicate the

configured via ArubaOS (for AP-207) or Aruba Instant (for
IAP-207) software into three separate modes:
 Normal mode (by default): See Table 1
 Both LEDs off
This device must be professionally installed and
serviced by a trained ACMP or similar Aruba-certified
technician. Aruba access points are classified as radio
transmission devices, and are subject to government
regulations of the host country. The network
administrator(s) is/are responsible for ensuring that
configuration and operation of this equipment is in

Access points are radio transmission devices and are
subject to governmental regulation. Network

operation of access points must comply with local
