The JACE 9000 includes a button behind the door that can be configured as "Access Point Controlled" mode, enabling the use of an inactivity time limit for access point availability. Selecting this mode activates a configurable time limit property for inactivity and the use of the Wi-Fi button to toggle on or off the Access Point availability. This is similar to the hardware switch of the JACE 8000.
