Last Client Disconnect
Timeout
Enter the number of seconds for the Last Client Disconnect Timeout. After
the last client has disconnected the SoftAP interface will stay up this
amount of time, giving clients an opportunity to reconnect. If, at the end of
the Last Client Disconnect Timeout no clients have reconnected, the
SoftAP interface will immediately go down. If, during the Last Client
Disconnect Timeout at least one client has attached, the SoftAP interface
will remain up until the last client has disconnected.
Note:
This field appears when Triggered mode is selected.
Trigger
Click the Trigger button to provide an external trigger event to bring the
SoftAP interface up.
Note:
This button and the timeout settings appear when the Triggered
mode is selected.
Channel Selection
Select the desired channel from the drop-down menu through which the
SoftAP will operate:
Automatic
: Allow the radio to select the channel for the Soft AP.
Configured
: Specify the channel on which the Soft AP should operate.
Note:
The Configured setting will only control the channel on which the
SoftAP operates as long as the station (STA) interface is not connected to
an access point. Once the STA interface has established an association
with an access point, the SoftAP will move to the STA interface's channel
(determined by the access point.) The channel selected by the user will be
validated by the UI against a list of channels supported by the radio. To
prevent inconsistent channel/band combinations the UI will coordinate the
'SoftAP channel' and 'WLAN Band' settings.
Channel
Enter the Channel number to be configured.
Note:
This field appears when a Configured channel selection is selected.
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the SoftAP interface.
Network Name (SSID)
Specify the network name/SSID of the access point. The SSID update will
take effect after the device is rebooted.
