Disable Meru MC1550 at certain times

Hi anyone know I can set the Meru MC1550 to disable the wifi at certain times of the day?

 

Thanks

If you are using 802.1x you might be able to have a script disable the group/users accounts used to authenticate onto the network.

The latest release of System Director supports timed SSIDs. Not all APs are supported in this latest release.

Yep this is working with MC1550 v8-5 and AP332i

 

Configuration > timer create profile for on/off time > associate the timer profile to the ESS profile.

Check your controller clock as it might be wrong.

 

Cli

type 'DATE' to see time

type 'calendar set MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS'

It's sponsored, but it isn't a support forum.

If you really need help with specific kit then you can't beat vendors own forums. The Meru forum is particularly good.

Well if I sponsored an Educational IT Technical help forum I would try and keep an eye on it. And as you know in these types of forums its often a lot easier to get a simple solution in an easy to read way.

I am reminded of the parable of the Drowning Man.

 

Meru have UK partners who do most of the legwork. One of them posted in this thread, and now you can achieve the result you wanted.
