SCALANCE W786-xPRO
154
Operating Instructions, Release 08/2007, C79000-G8976-C221-02
Note
With the Link Check function, you can only monitor connections to WLAN clients; use along
with redundancy or WDS is not possible.
Table of monitored devices
In the drop-down list box of the "Link Check" title line, you decide whether connection
monitoring is enabled or disabled. Only connections to devices for which the check box in
the "Sel" column is selected will be monitored.
You can delete entries in the table by selecting the relevant check box in the "Del" column
and clicking the "Set Values" button. You can create new list entries after clicking the "New"
button. You can then enter the MAC address and the monitoring time.
System event for connection abort
You can specify how the SCALANCE W78x reacts to a connection abort (or to the
reestablishment of a connection) in the System > Events menu.

Redundancy menu command (in access point mode only)
Note
The redundancy function described here is available only for SCALANCE W78x devices that
have more than one wireless adapter and that are not operated in iPCF mode.
You can use the WEP encryption method.
Configuration with sysName
Instead of the MAC addresses, you can also configure the redundant partners with the
"sysName" parameter. Beacons contain this parameter which is why the redundant device is
detected using beacons.
Note
With the firmware update to to V3.0, the SCALANCE W78x-xRR devices need to be
reconfigured if you use WDS or redundancy and use the MAC address and not the
sysName.
These functions are then based on the MAC address that changes with the introduction of
VAPs with V3.0.
