to LANconfig or other tools). Should the connection to the WLAN
Controller be interrupted, the Access Point will continue to operate with
the configuration stored in flash for the time period entered here. The
Access Point can also continue to work with this flash configuration after
a local power outage.
If there is still no connection to the WLAN Controller after this time period
has expired then the flash configuration is deleted and the Access Point
goes out of operation. As soon as the WLAN Controller can be reached
again, the configuration is transmitted again from the WLAN Controller to
the Access Point.
This option enables an Access Point to continue operating even if the con-
nection to the WLAN Controller is temporarily interrupted. Furthermore
this represents an effective measure against data theft as all security-rela-
ted configuration parameters are automatically deleted after this time has
expired.
Possible values:
0 to 9999
Default:
0
Special values:
0: Switches the WLAN module off the moment that the connection to
the Controller is lost. With this setting, the configuration provided by
the WLAN Controller is not stored in flash memory but in RAM, mea-
ning that a power outage causes the configuration to be lost imme-
diately.
9999: Continues working indefinitely with the current configuration,
even if the WLAN Controller is permanently unavailable. The WLAN
configuration in the flash memory is only deleted after a reset.
Please note that the delay before deletion of the flash configuration is
the time of self-sufficient operation, not the time after power loss!
All other WLAN network parameters correspond to those for the
standard configuration of Access Points.
