6.5.5 WLAN time control
Synchronisation with an Internet time
server has to be ensured in order to use
Wi-Fi time control. In this case, the time
server (Device configuration Date and
time Obtain date and time automatical-
ly) for the dLAN 500 WiFi has to be en-
abled and an active Internet
connection is also required 6.4.4 Time
server). The time server is enabled by
default.
To be able to use the Wi-Fi time control, enable the op-
tion Enable time control. The time control automati-
cally switches your wireless network on and off at
certain times of the day.
You can define two time periods during which your
wireless network is to be enabled for each weekday.
Then the time control automatically switches the wire-
less network on or off.
Keep in mind that, as long as the
dLAN 500 WiFi registers connected sta-
tions, the wireless network remains en-
abled. The wireless network is not
switched off until the last station has
logged off.
Manually switching the access point on
or off (i.e. using a button) always has
priority over automatic time control.
The configured time control would
take effect automatically during the
next defined time period.
