Permanent Deactivation of Wireless Networks
Presentation
Panel Server models PAS600LWD and PAS600PWD natively have no IEEE 802.15.4 or Wi-Fi wireless network capability.
IEEE 802.15.4 and Wi-Fi wireless networks can be permanently and concurrently disabled in other Panel Server Universal models and in Advanced models. Once the wireless networks are disabled via this command, it is permanent and cannot be undone. Neither a factory reset, nor a backup restore can activate the radio capabilities again. If an IEEE 802.15.4 or Wi-Fi network is required, the Panel Server must be replaced by a new one.
The permanent deactivation of the wireless networks is not saved in the backup file of Panel Server configuration (see detailed topic).
Availability
This function is available on Panel Server Universal (except WD models, which have no wireless capability) and Panel Server Advanced.
Setting the Parameters
Permanent deactivation of wireless networks is set on the EcoStruxure Panel Server webpages, at .
