Wi-Fi Uplink
The Wi-Fi uplink is supported on the Access Point. However only the master AP uses this
uplink. The Wi-Fi allows uplink to open, PSK-CCMP, and PSK- TKIP SSIDs.
● Both radios can be used to serve clients but only one of them can be used for the Wi-Fi
uplink.
Note
When the Wi
-Fi uplink is in use, the client IP is assigned by the internal DHCP server.
Configuring a Wi-Fi Uplink Profile
The following configuration conditions apply to the Wi-Fi uplink:
● To bind or unbind the Wi-Fi uplink on the 5 GHz band, reboot the AP.
● If the Wi-Fi uplink is used on the 5 GHz band, mesh is disabled. The two links are
mutually exclusive.
