further associations with itself until it detects Ethernet activity.
If the Ethernet Timeout is disabled when the Ethernet connection is broken, the
AP clears the wireless client table and disables the RF interface until the Ethernet
connection is restored.
If the Ethernet Timeout is enabled when the Ethernet connection is broken
,
the AP
sets the time-out value to zero (0) and attempts to associate with another WLAP in
the network.
