Wireless LAN
36 - English
A26391-K129-Z121-1-7619
The range of a wireless network can be increased with several AccessPoints. The AccessPoints
have the same SSID for this purpose. When a system enters the wireless net, it searches among
the reachable AccessPoints for the one with the strongest signal and logs on there. Two systems
logged on to different AccessPoints communicate with each other in this way, even when they are
not within direct radio reach. If a system also continuously monitors the radio situation after the
logon, it can detect how the signals from an AccessPoint become weaker and those of another
become stronger, and can then log on to the stronger one without the user noticing. This procedure
is referred to as roaming.
Operating system requirements
