Ubiquiti UniFi Status LED patterns

Blue and White status LEDs apply to all UniFi access points, routers, switches and the UDM (base model) with the exception of the legacy devices: UAP, UAP-LR, UAP-Outdoor5.

Legacy UAPs have Amber and Green LED on the front of the unit.

The animations are for illustrative purposes – the speed of the flashing or strobing patterns below might differ slightly with that of the device.

While the LED patterns below are shown for Access Points, the rest of the UniFi device LED patterns have the same meaning.

UDM - When you see this, it means Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Dream Machine - if you have one to reference.
