4.14 ACCESS LINK SAFE MODE/ BACKHAUL LINK SELF-HEALING
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 “A2 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 the AP which has no
backhaul to the Internet end. Default Access Link Safe Mode is Disabled. Press the icon
Enabled, A2 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, A2 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.
4.15 AMR METER TRAFFIC
AMR Meter is a feature for special purpose and it should be disable by default.
4.16 SETUP – WIRELESS RADIO PARAMETER
Wireless radio parameters can be modified under Configuration in the menu bar. By selecting
the icons, 2.4G Radio can operate on different modes separately: AP mode, Bridge mode and
Disable. The default setting of 2.4G Radio is AP mode.
4.17 AP MODE
Wireless Radio working on AP mode is used for clients association. Altai A2 combines
802.11b/g and draft 802.11n together to offer access for clients.
The Radio Enable Mode, Wireless Mode, Auto Channel Selection, Radio Frequency
(Channel), Maximum Clients, Transmit Power, Advanced Settings and VAP can be configured
by selecting AP icon under 2.4G Radio, as shown in Figure 16.
