The 5.11 release introduces enhancements to the Primary AP Reconnect feature. This improvement adds a smart Monitor Radio Scan capability, enabling Subscriber Modules (SMs) with a dedicated spectrum analysis interface to verify the availability of the Primary AP in real time and automatically reconnect when possible.
The feature prevents SMs from disconnecting when the Primary AP is unavailable and helps reduce downtime for end users.
The feature works in conjunction with the Primary AP Reconnect feature and requires the Spectrum Analyzer to be disabled. It is disabled by default and must be explicitly configured on the SM.
How to configure:
- Navigate to SM GUI Configuration Radio page
- Configure Primary and Secondary APs SSIDs and Security.
- Enable Primary AP Reconnect feature
- Enable Monitor Radio Scan feature
The following status indicate that SM has reconnected back to Primary AP:
“SM deregistered - Reconnect to Primary AP”
