Parameter Description
Hot Standby Mode Enabling hot standby designates this device as a backup for another access point.
The standby device is placed near the access point it monitors, configured exactly
the same as the monitored device. The standby device queries the monitored
access point regularly through both the Ethernet and the radio. If the monitored
device fails to respond, the standby access point comes online and takes the
monitored device's place in the network.
When hot standby is enabled, a Standby Status field displays. This field displays
the current status of the hot standby and is updated by pressing Refresh.

Failover Select Yes if you want to configure the standby access point to send a Dumb
Device Protocol (DDP) message to the monitored access point to disable the
radios of the monitored access point when the standby unit becomes active. This
feature prevents client devices that are associated to the monitored access point
from remaining associated to the malfunctioning unit.
