Description
State
Select to enable or disable the access point. If enabled, the DHCP server
will assign IP addresses to the access point clients.
Mode
Select the desired mode from the drop-down menu:
Always Up:
the SoftAP interface will always be up, allowing clients to
connect at any time. Default selection.
Triggered:
in response to an external trigger event, the SoftAP interface
will come up for a user-configurable amount of time (the 'First Client
Connect Timeout' and the ‘Last Client Disconnect Timeout’) and allow
clients to connect.
First Client Connect Timeout
Enter the number of seconds for the First Client Connect Timeout. Upon
receiving an external trigger event the SoftAP interface will stay up this
amount of time waiting for a client to connect. If, at the end of the First
Client Connect Timeout no clients have connected, the SoftAP interface
will immediately go back down. If, during the First Client Connect Timeout
at least one client has attached, the SoftAP interface will remain up until
the last client has disconnected. After the last client has disconnected, the
soft AP interface will remain up for a user-configurable amount of time (the
'Last Client Disconnect Timeout',) giving clients an opportunity to
reconnect.
Note:
This field appears when Triggered mode is selected.
