4.2.12. Safe Mode

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 Safe Mode_X, where X is the MAC

address of the radio interface in hexadecimal.

This action can protect the client from connecting to the AP which has

no backhaul to the Internet end. Total duration for AP from losing

backhaul link to safe mode is 3 x ping interval seconds.

Note:

- A8n (ac) recovers itself from safe mode if it detects the

backhaul link is recovered
