How do I flash the LED so I can locate a WAP?

How do I flash the LED so I can locate a WAP?

I am trying to make the LED flash so someone can identify a WAP.

 

I am trying to use system led power saving mode

I am SSH'd into a test WAP that I can see from my desk.

 

But I am not sure what to set. I tried to set the delay for 1 hour and set the on interval to 25s and the off to 35s. But the WAP I am testing with doesn't blink.

 

I thought the GUI used to have the ability to make the led flash.

We do have that function in the GUI, the location just depends a bit on which HiveManager you are using:

 

HiveManager Classic (myhive.aerohive.com): You would want to go to Monitor> Check the box next to the AP> Utilities> Locate Device. Then you can choose the rate of flashing and what color the AP flashes.

 

HiveManager (formerly NG, cloud.aerohive.com): In HiveManager you can find the same feature in Tools> Utilities> Locate Device.

 

Is that what you were looking for?
