PPSM Emergency Wi-Fi

Normal State

• PPSM Ethernet is active at 192.168.50.2.
• PPSM Wi-Fi profile remains saved for emergency access.
• PPSM Wi-Fi autoconnect is disabled.
• Normal service, portal, DNS/DHCP, and validation workflows use the wired PPSM address.

Disable Wi-Fi Autoconnect

On the PPSM, identify the saved PagePoint Wi-Fi profile and disable autoconnect.

nmcli connection show
sudo nmcli connection modify "PagePoint" connection.autoconnect no
sudo nmcli connection down "PagePoint"

If the profile name is different, substitute the actual connection name from nmcli connection show.

Emergency Enable

sudo nmcli connection up "PagePoint"
ip addr show wlan0

Use the temporary Wi-Fi address only long enough to restore service access.

Return To Normal

sudo nmcli connection down "PagePoint"
sudo nmcli connection modify "PagePoint" connection.autoconnect no
