View Associated Devices
To see a list of devices associated with the module, use the show associated command. The command output is in the
following format with commas delimiting the fields:
Connection
number
Host MAC
address
Received
byte count
Transmitted
byte count
Seconds since last
packet received
!
Figure 8 shows example output from the show associated command.
Figure 8. Show Associate Command Example Output

You can use the Seconds since last packet received output to check for stale connections.
Enable the Link Monitor
AP mode supports a link monitor feature. The link monitor is a timer (in seconds) that checks to see if any packets are
received from an associated device. When the timer expires, the AP module de-authenticates the client(s).
You enable the link monitor using the set wlan link <value>, where <value> is the link monitor timer in seconds.
NOTE: Roving Networks recommends that you set the link monitor timer value to at least 300 seconds to avoid de-
authenticating clients frequently.
Route Data between Clients
AP mode supports routing between clients. Clients can ping each other via the AP module and can also send data to each
other over TCP and UDP.
GPIO4, 5 & 6 Alternative Functions
GPIO4, 5, and 6 have alternative functions in soft AP mode as described in the advanced sections later in this document.
You enable the alternative functions using the following commands:
set sys iofunc 0x70 // Enables alternative functions
set wlan linkmon 60 // Enables link monitor feature required for alternative functions
The link monitor feature must be enabled to turn on the alternative functions in soft AP mode only. Table 16 shows the
GPIO alternative functions.
