The WiFi-Box will perform a scan for WiFi networks, when a known network is available it will join this network. When no known network is found it will become a access point. This means a fresh WiFi-Box will always become a access point. The WiFi-Box will perform a scan for WiFi networks, when a known network is available it will join this network.

They continuely query the list api method to retrieve local WiFi-Boxes information. Because the server can't know their current status the (Wep)App should query the alive api method of the WiFi-Boxes. When it get's a valid response the WiFi-Box can be shown to the user. Besides querying the boxes it retrieves through the list api The Web(App) should also continuesly query the alive method of boxes that are already shown. To make this easier for (Wep)App developers we created a JavaScript library that handles this; ConnectAPI.js. They continuely query the list api method to retrieve local WiFi-Boxes information.
