3.10 Front-Panel Operation
The Fortress Bridge front panel is equipped with three,
recessed buttons: two switches (labeled
SW1 and SW2 ) and a
Reset button.
3.10.1 Mode Selection from the Front Panel
NOTE: Refer to
Section 3.3.1.4 for
more information about
Bridge Mode and to Sec-
tion 3.7 for an explana-
tion of blackout mode.
The front-panel switches can be used to select the Bridge Mode
of the Bridge’s internal Radio 2 as well as to turn the Bridge’s
front-panel LEDs off and on (enable/disable blackout mode).
Each of these Bridge settings has only two possible values.
Configuring them through the front-panel switches toggles the
setting from its current value to the alternate value.

3.10.1.1 Toggling the Bridge Mode Setting on Radio 2
Radio 2 is in
Bridge Radio Mode by default, and its default
Bridge Mode setting is Root .
If this setting is still at its default value, the procedure below will
change the
Bridge Mode setting to Non-Root . (If the setting is
currently Non-Root , the procedure will return the setting to
Root .)
NOTE: You can
also change the
Bridge Mode setting in
the Bridge GUI (Section
3.3.1.4) or in the Bridge
CLI (Section 6.4.3).
If Radio 2’s Radio Mode setting has been changed to AP , the
procedure below will still toggle the radio’s Bridge Mode setting,
but the new setting will not take effect until the Radio Mode has
been set again to Bridge .

upper Radio LEDs go out, then immediately release it. The
Stat1 LED should be flashing slowly (green).
