networking support, see

8. Click Apply to save any changes to the Radio Configuration screen. Navigating away from
the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.
Disabled When disabled, both radios are up at boot time and beaconing. If
one radio (radio 1) does not have a mesh connection, the other
radio (radio 2) is not affected. Radio 2 continues to beacon and
associate MUs, but MU's can only communicate amongst
themselves using the access point. Disabled is the default value.
Uplink Detect When Uplink Detect is selected, the access point only boots up the
radio configured as a client bridge. The access point boots up the
second radio as soon as the first mesh connection is established.
However, if the client bridge radio loses its uplink connection, the
second radio shuts down immediately. Uplink detect is the
recommended setting within a multi-hop mesh network.
Enabled If the mesh connection is down on one radio (radio 1), the other
radio (radio 2) is brought down and stops beaconing after the
timeout period (45 - 65535 seconds). This allows the client bridge
(radio 1) to roam without dropping the MU's associated to radio 2.
The disadvantage is that radio 2 may beacon for the timeout period
and have to drop associated MU's because radio 1 could not
establish its uplink. The default timeout period is 45 seconds.
NOTE The Mesh Time Out variable overrides the Ethernet Port Time Out (EPTO)
setting on the LAN page when the access point is in bridge mode. As long
as the mesh is down, the access point acts in accordance to the Mesh
Time Out setting regardless of the state of the Ethernet. However, if the
Ethernet goes down and the mesh link is still up, the EPTO takes effect.
