Configuring the Ethernet Settings
Many of the standard Ethernet settings are configured in the TCP/IP
Settings screen. For help, see
Configuring the TCP/IP Settings on page
52. In the Ethernet Settings screen, you can
❑ Enable or disable the link status check. Enable this parameter if
you want the access point to periodically check its Ethernet
connection. If it loses the connection, this access point can no
longer be the root access point and any end devices that are
connected to this access point (whether or not it is the root) will
roam to a different access point. The access point will attempt to
reconnect to the spanning tree through one of its radio ports.
Disable this parameter if this access point must be the root access
point.
❑ Set the hello period, which defines how often the access point
sends out multicast hello packets so it can dynamically discover
and test connections to other routers on the network. Once this
information is learned, the access point and routers can exchange
routing information.
