If this configuration is selected, the configured Wi-Fi network will normally be disabled, and it
will be activated temporarily when the button is pressed.
6.7.3 Temporarily create a network
If this configuration is selected, the device will temporarily create a network when the button is
pressed. If the Wi-Fi Configuration is set to Join a Network, the temporarily created network will
be an open network with the name “NL241_
SerialNumber
.” If the Wi-Fi Configuration is set to
Create a Network, the configured Wi-Fi network will normally be disabled and it will be
temporarily activated when the button is pressed.
Note that when the Wi-Fi Configuration is set to Create a Network, the device behavior is the
same for both button configurations.
6.7.4 Temporary network duration
When the Mode button is used to temporarily enable or create the Wi-Fi network, it will stay
powered for at least 5 minutes. There is a 2-minute timeout that is refreshed every time
communications are detected. Once the timeout has expired, the device will power off the
network.
If the Mode button is pressed again while the temporary network is active, the device will power
off the network.
