Figure 15 Configure DHCP Relay Server
When the DHCP Server Mode sets to Disabled, the A3 will neither be a DHCP server nor a
DHCP Relay and hence the wireless clients CANNOT get IP addresses from the A3 smart WiFi
to access the Internet. Instead, each wireless client should set a fixed static IP address which is in
the same network domain as the A3.

Access Link Safe Mode is for detecting the backhaul link integrity. If the AP loses its backhaul
connectivity, it forces the clients to re-associate with another AP by changing its SSID to a
default “A3 Safe Mode XXX”, where “XXX” is the MAC address of the 2.4GHz radio in
hexadecimal. This action can protect the client from connecting to a AP which has no backhaul
to the Internet end. Default Access Link Safe Mode is Disabled. Press the icon Enabled, A3
smart WiFi will work under Access Link Safe Mode.
In the case where multiple physical backhauls are available, the Backhaul Link Self-Healing
feature will switch to other backhaul if the current one goes down. For example, when default
backhaul is set to 5GHz Radio, once the 5GHz Bridge link is broken down, A3 smart WiFi will
try Ethernet end as its new backhaul. Default setting is Disabled. After enabled the Backhaul
Link Self-Healing, Default Backhaul Link can be configured.
Three different Ping Host can be added to the list for monitoring the connectivity. If either
Access Link Safe Mode or Backhaul Link Self-Healing is enabled, the AP will ping those
specified hosts periodically at the Ping Interval configured.
