TechInfoDepot:DD-WRT/SES Button

=Introduction= The SES/AOSS/EZ-SETUP is the button you can find on your router. You can use that button to Enable/Disable Wireless or to execute scripts when it's pressed.

Prerequisites
In order to get the SES/AOSS/EZ-SETUP to work, you must have Reset Button ENABLED, located in the Administration -> Management section



Turning on/off wireless
You can turn on/off the wireless transmit of your router by pressing this button. Ofcourse before that you have to enable the service for that. Therefore go to Services -> Services and tick Enable at the "SES / AOSS / EZ-SETUP Button" group



Run script when button pressed
You can also run a script when the SES/AOSS/EZ-SETUP button is pressed, therefore have a look at Script types. **Note:** You must have "Use this button for turning off radio" disabled (see section immediately above)

Example to test custom button script
The following instructions will create a script that will flash the DMZ LED 10 times when you press the SES/AOSS/EZ-SETUP button.

Type in the following commands: mkdir /tmp/etc/config

Make a file blink.sesbutton with the following contents (e.g. "vi /tmp/etc/config/blink.sesbutton"):

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10;do gpio disable 7 usleep 50000 gpio enable 7 usleep 50000 done

chmod 744 /tmp/etc/config/blink.sesbutton

Now when you press the SES/AOSS/EZ-SETUP button the DMZ light will flash 10 times.

Caution
Pressing the AOSS button on a WHR-HP-G54 while booting may brick the router.

There is also a risk that it will break the radio on the WHR-HP-G54 without bricking the router.
