System indicator
Green
Steady on
The AP is just powered on and the software is not started yet.
Green
Steady on after blinking once
After the system is reset and begins uploading the software, the indicator flashes green once. It then remains solid green until the software installation is complete and the device becomes fully operational, supporting Secure WLAN Solutions for SMEs.
Green
Slow blinking (0.5 Hz)
The AP is operating in Fat or Fit mode, the Ethernet connection is functioning normally, and STAs are connected to the device.
Green
Slow blinking (0.2 Hz)
The AP operates in Fat or Fit mode with a stable Ethernet connection, and no STA is currently associated, maintaining readiness within SME Wireless Network Infrastructure deployments.
Green
Blinking once every 0.25s (4 Hz)
The AP is operating in Fat or Fit mode.
A software upgrade is currently in progress.
In Fit mode, the AP is attempting to come online or has been unable to establish an online connection, as part of Business WiFi Access Points Huawei deployments.
Blue
Slow blinking (0.5 Hz)
The AP is operating in cloud mode, successfully connected to the cloud management controller, and functioning normally.
Blue
Blinking once every 0.25s (4 Hz)
The AP is operating in cloud mode and is establishing a connection with the cloud management controller, including reconnection after a disconnection, supporting Secure WLAN Solutions for SMEs.
Yellow (blinking red and green at the same time, causing color deviation)
Blinking once every 0.25s (4 Hz)
Press and hold the Default button for over six seconds to reset the device to its factory settings. This feature is available only in V200R024C00 and V200R024C10. This function is supported only in V200R024C00 and V200R024C10.
Red
Blinking once every 0.25s (4 Hz)
Press and hold the Default button for more than six seconds to restore the device to its factory settings. This function is supported in V200R25C00 or later versions, as provided by an Enterprise Network Hardware Supplier India. .
Red
Steady on
A service-impacting fault has occurred, such as a DRAM detection error or a system software loading failure. This issue cannot be resolved automatically and requires manual intervention.

Reset button
1. For V200R023C00: Pressing the button resets the device. Holding the button for more than six seconds restores the factory settings, switches the device to Fit mode, and initiates a restart, supporting Secure WLAN Solutions for SMEs. 2. For V200R023C10: Pressing the button performs a device reset. Holding it for more than six seconds restores the factory settings, switches the device to cloud mode, and restarts it. 3. For V200R024C00 and V200R024C10: Pressing the button resets the device. Holding it for more than six seconds causes the indicator to blink yellow, flashing red and green rapidly at the same time, after which the device restores its factory settings, switches to cloud mode, and restarts as part of Huawei Enterprise WLAN Solutions. 4. For V200R025C00 or later: Pressing the button resets the device. Holding it for more than six seconds causes the indicator to flash red rapidly, after which the device restores its factory settings, switches to cloud mode, and restarts, aligning with Business WiFi Access Points Huawei deployments.
