The Nile Access Point (AP) is equipped with a single tricolor LED: Red, Green and Blue. The LED color reflects a system level status indicator that provides installers, IT admins and end users with adequate information on the running state of the Nile Service at a given Access Point.

The following table lists the transient and persistent AP LED colors and their meaning:
