AP location/identification utility

dmorin1 — Fri, 31 May 2019 05:26:53 GMT

We're moving all of our APs from Hivemanager Classic to Hivemanager Connect (the free one) as we'll soon be turning over the building and the installed APs to the building owners.

We've mixed up where the APs are on the map. Classic has a way to have the AP LED flash to locate it, but I can't find it in Hivemanager Connect. I read it is under Tools, but that's only available for Select.

If indeed Connect lacks the ability to identify an AP, is there at least a way to do so in CLI?

system led brightness off

Any way to set the diagnostics LED settings, such as color, flash rate?
In Classic I tended to use flashing amber. For the 8 I need to locate, I would set all to amber slow flash, and the one I am focusing on, amber fast flash.

Honestly, this function needs to be put in Monitor>devices> select device(s)> Utilities or Actions. I know it is under Tools, but Tools is only available with Select.

Hi Dan,

Try: _led color Amber [Fast/slow-blink]

Thanks, that worked!
FYI, to set back to normal, use:
no _led color

I found a workaround though. We found an old planning map, and the APs were marked with their hostnames.
