So I had great success with my first Ubiquiti Bullet so I decided to buy another.  This one, after flashing with the hamnet firmware and configuring the device I noticed the bottom LED on the signal strength meter is on solid red.  Can anyone tell me what that means?  I can not find anything on Ubiquiti's website.

Thanks!

One of our poorly documented features.

The solid red led (Known as LINK1)  is illuminated when your node sees another node.  It is a quick indicator to see if you see another node.

Being lit doesn't always mean you have a good bi directional connection, it just means your node sees another node and you may have a chance at a connection.

it was added back in 1.0.1, and has turned out to be a great diagnostic tool (I've used it a lot more than I thought I would) as you can quickly see just by looking at the node lights if contact has been made.

Awesome, thanks!  I was worried there for a minute. I guess I put mine up on the roof before ever connecting to another node.  I had to walk outside and look at the lights. Sure enough my other node has a red light too.  Thanks for explaining that to me!
