If the option Indefinite standalone operation is deactivated, a value between 0 - 9999 can be entered in the field AP standalone time .
The following values can be set:
- 0 minutes
This value causes the SSID to be deactivated and deleted from the main memory as soon as the access point detects that contact to the WLAN Controller has been lost. As a consequence, connections to the clients are lost. At the same time, the profile is deleted from the flash memory. One advantage of this is that a stolen access point cannot reveal the configuration, which prevents the access data from being misused. - 1 - 9998 minutes
Values between 1 – 9998 define the length of time in minutes that the configuration remains intact in the main memory after loss of contact to the WLAN Controller. Within this specified time period, internal communication within the SSID continues to work. When the timer expires, the profile is deleted from the flash memory as well. - 9999 minutes (default setting)
A value of 9999 allows the current WLAN profile to remain operational indefinitely, however long the loss of contact to the WLAN Controller. The WLAN configuration in the flash memory is only deleted after a reset.
