Timeout = 3 Timeout = 4 Access point monitors WLAP-Alive BPDU messages on the Ethernet line as well as over the wireless network. If the BPDU message is missing on the Ethernet line, the access point turns off its radio and flashes its Ethernet Activity indicator approximately once every second. The BPDU is considered missing after a certain time determined by the setting of the WLAP Hello Time on the RF Configuration screen. The default is 20 seconds. When the Ethernet connection is restored, the access point turns on its radio and stops flashing the LED indicator. Access point monitors WLAP-Alive BPDU messages on the Ethernet line as well as over the wireless network. If the BPDU message is missing on the Ethernet line, the access point resets. An example network using this setting is described in 5.3: Using the Ethernet Timeout Setting 4. Table 5-1: Ethernet Timeout Settings The wiring diagram for an Ethernet 10BaseT cross-over cable is shown in Figure 5-5. The following are the settings for the access points in the special network of Figure 5-4. All access points have the WLAP Mode set to Enabled. Access Point A. Timeout = 1 Priority = 7000 WLAP Manual BSS ID = its own MAC address Access Point B. Timeout = 2 Priority = 8000 (default) WLAP Manual BSS ID = MAC address of access point A Access Point C. Timeout = 3 Priority = 8000 (default) WLAP Manual BSS ID = its own MAC address Access Point D. Timeout = 0 Priority = 9000 WLAP Manual BSS ID = MAC address of access point C Access Point E. Timeout = 1 Priority = 7000 WLAP Manual BSS ID = its own MAC address Access Point F. Timeout = 2 Priority = 8000 (default) WLAP Manual BSS ID = MAC address of access point E Access Point G. Timeout = 3 Priority = 8000 (default) WLAP Manual BSS ID = its own MAC address Access Point H. Timeout = 0 Priority = 9000 WLAP Manual BSS ID = MAC address of access point G Configuring Access Point Bridging and Repeating (WLAP Mode) 19
