LWAP AP1131 Is there any way to turn off the Round BLUE LED

Question

The 1131 Access point in IOS mode had an option to turn off the BLUE LED circle on the access point. The access point has been converted to LWAP and connected to controller and now the BLUE LED circle is back.... is there any way to turn it off ??
Can not see an option on the controller.
Very bright in a dark room (ie hospital beds...)

Hi tdennehy
Well, first of all thanks a lot for your replay. We have perfect LOS with certainly more than 60% of the Fresnel zone being clear. The Yagi antennas are pointed at each other with no doubt, we actually got while in the "install root" and "install non-root" bridge mode the I and R LEDs on and stable, and S blinking. At times we got all the LEDs blinked fast but I guess we were passing through some strong signal concentrations. Heh, the client sugested to install the Yagi antennas as the omni but I just ingnored him, what else could I say hehe.
When we were installing all the equipment I had a play with different channels and it seemd like CH 1 worked best. The antennas use the cable they come with because the BR-1310 bridges we have installed right beneath the antennas, only the coaxials cables go down to the office to the power injectors.
Please see the attached screenshot from the signal and SNR reading. It seems like we have a little bit of noise. The signal was -61dB to -63dB on the installation day but 2 weeks later it went down to about -65dB.
So, you suggest we rotate both Yagi antennas by 90 degrees correct? I guess one needs to be turned clockwise and another anticlockwise correct? What de we actually gain by doing that? We change the polarization from vertical to horizontal? Could you please explain it to me a little bit more?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience. I am going to troubleshoot this on Monday so I would be great if you could give me some sugesstions. I thought of changing the Yagi antennas to 19dB direccional flat pannel of 3rd party but with this distance 13,5dB yagi I think are sufficient. Does the "distance" settings on root bridge have impact on the signal sterngth?
One more question, at the moment the 2 connected offices are in the same subnet so to speak in the same broadcast domain. On one site (non-root bridge)  they have up to 150 client connections to the servers on the other site (root bridge) but with 20kbps per station making it roughly 3Mbps total bandwidth needed. When they connect all at the same time, our client say the wireless link go. I really don't believe that becasue on the wireless readings we get betwenn 18 and 24Mbps so it should be way more than enough. Do you think by putting both sites in different VLANs would help a little bit so the local traffic would not need to be broadcasted over the wireless link back and forward? Can you shed on that a little bit of your experience? I suspect they have something to do with the switching on local site because when I was pinging the non-root bridge from the local site but connected to a different switch then is connected the Cisco bridge, I got funny reposnses, between 5 and 40ms over ethernet with 10 connections to the remote site over the wireless link but when we pingged the same CIsco bridge from the local site but connecte to the same switch as the Cisco bridge the responses were 1ms. It makes me think that they have some broadcast storming on the local site and that also propagates the wireless link...
