S12700 and S12700E V200R019C10 Command Reference
This document describes all the configuration commands of the device, including the command function, syntax, parameters, views, default level, usage guidelines, examples, and related commands.
wifi-light
Function
The wifi-light command specifies the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators on an AP.
The undo wifi-light command restores the default parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators on an AP.
- If the Mesh function is enabled on the AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators reflects the weakest signal strength of all neighboring APs.
- If WDS is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators reflects the strength of signals received from a WDS AP.
- If the AP works in leaf mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators reflects the strength of signals received from a middle AP.
- If the AP works in middle mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators reflects the strength of signals received from a root AP.
- If the AP works in root mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators reflects the weakest signal strength of middle APs.
- If the WDS and Mesh functions are disabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators reflects the service traffic volume on the radio.
Only APs with wireless indicators support this command. To determine whether an AP has Wireless indicators, check the section Indicator Description in the Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide of the corresponding AP model.
Wireless indicators are not available on the following models: AirEngine 8760R-X1, AirEngine 8760R-X1E, AirEngine 6760R-51, AirEngine 6760R-51E.
Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
signal-strength |
Sets the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators on an AP to signal strength. When a Wireless indicator blinks fast, the signal strength is strong. |
- |
traffic |
Sets the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators on an AP to service traffic volume. When a Wireless indicator blinks fast, the service traffic volume is high. |

Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
During installation and commissioning of APs that have the WDS or Mesh function enabled, you need to adjust WDS or Mesh AP locations and antenna directions to obtain strong signals. If the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators shows the signal strength, onsite installation personnel can know the signal strength in real time. The wifi-light command allows you to specify the parameter reflected by the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicators. For example, you can specify the parameter to signal strength during installation and service traffic volume after installation.
Precautions
This command takes effect only when the AP has the WDS or Mesh function enabled. If the WDS and Mesh functions are disabled on the AP, the Wireless indicators always show service traffic volume.
