Dual-band 3x3 802.11 ac WiFi Access Point

9. Safe Mode

Safe Mode is used 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 mechanism protects 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:

- AP device recovers itself from safe mode if it detects the

backhaul link had been recovered
