Hi All,
For a project I need to enable/disable the WiFi interface from an external electrical contact. Is possible to use a button and a script to do this?
Thank you

Re: External button
This is my first solution, using 2 ether ports (loop back on ether4 and ether5), when ether5 goes UP (by reley) the script Enable the wlan1. This is only a workaround...
Code: Select all
# Checking ether5 link status:
:global "state"
:global "laststate"
/interface ethernet monitor ether5 once do={:set "state" $status}
:if ($"state" != $"laststate") do={
:if ($"state" != "link-ok") do={
# LINK DOWN
/interface disable wlan1
} else {
# LINK UP
/interface enable wlan1
}
:set "laststate" $"state"
}
Re: External button
Perhaps the router's serial port could be used for that purpose; see http://www.papouch.com/en/shop/product/ ... -mikrotik/ , which is a product that allows monitoring of an external switch, confirming that serial ports are usable for such purposes.
