the length of the patch cable exceeds 100 meter, or if a damaged patch cable is used.
When a link is not detected, the Access Point will switch from its current ESSID to the a
new ESSID value, ERRORESSID, and the Status LED will blink yellow. This change
in ESSID will force all wireless clients to disassociate from the Access Point, allowing
the client to seek out another Access Point still configured to the appropriate ESSID and
reestablish network connectivity.
Note that clients configured to use "Any" ESSID may continue to associate with the
non-functional Access Point. Therefore, Proxim recommends that all wireless clients be
manually configured with an ESSID and that customers avoid using the "Any" option if
the 10BaseT Link Monitor has been enabled on an Access Point. This parameter is set
to disabled by default.
Note:
Do NOT enable this parameter if you are using a 10BASE2 Ethernet cable to
provide network connectivity to the Access Point. If the 10BaseT Link Monitor
is enabled at any time when a 10BaseT Ethernet connection does not exist, the
Access Point will change its ESSID to "ERRORESSID" and will NOT operate
as intended.
Ethernet Port Administrative Status, when disabled, temporarily prohibits the Access
Point from sending or receiving any packets over the Ethernet. This parameter is auto-
matically returned to Enabled when the Access Point is reset. This parameter is primarily
included for customer who intend to manage the Access Point using SNMP. This
parameter corresponds to the SNMP MIB-II Administrative status parameter and can be
used to bring the Ethernet interface back up after it has been disabled by an SNMP
manager.
