Enabling the 2.4 GHz Network
Product Applicability: B5/B5c, B11
The 2.4 GHz wireless interface allows local browser-based configuration with any Wi-Fi capable device. This is a low
power interface that performs best if accessed within 60 meters (~200 feet) of the radio. It is completely separate
from the link and has no performance impact on throughput if activated.
Network Mode - Choose to automatically or manually enable or disable the 2.4 GHz management network. The
●
automatic mode turns the 2.4 GHz management network on for a limited time (defined in Console Timeout)
after boot and then turns it off if there is no activity. If a user associates with the radio within the timeout
period, they will not be disconnected.
Console Timeout - Set the number of minutes (1-60) of inactivity that will be allowed on the 2.4 GHz interface
●
before turning it off in Auto mode.
SSID (Local Management) - Set the SSID name for the 2.4 GHz local management interface.
●
Channel - Select the channel on which the 2.4 GHz wireless network will operate.
●
Recovery SSID - This is an non-editable recovery SSID that allows the device to be reset to factory defaults. This
●
is available for 5 minutes after device boot. Disabling the 2.4 GHz management network will not impact
availability of this option. The serial number of the device must be known in order to perform the factory reset.
Note: If you turn off the 2.4 GHz management radio, you can still access the device through the wired LAN interface,
or in-band through the 5 GHz wireless link. During the B5/B5c device reset process, the 2.4 GHz wireless interface is
briefly re-enabled, and then disabled after a timeout.
