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.

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 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 45 second timeout
period and have to drop associated MU's because radio 1 could not
establish its uplink.
mesh network temporarily goes down. The mesh network is
unavailable because the access point radio goes down when applying
the changes. This can be problematic for users making changes within
a deployed mesh network. If updating the mesh network using a LAN
connection, the access point applet loses connection and the
connection must be re-instated. If updating the mesh network using a
WAN connection, the applet does not lose connection, but the mesh
network is unavailable until the changes have been applied.
