work is configured to operate on Domain 13, change the Error Domain parameter to
another Domain number between 0 and 15 that is not in use.
You may enable or disable the ability for the RangeLAN2 Access Point to repeat signals
coming from one Station and destined for another Station. These two Stations must be
out of range of one another but both in range of the RangeLAN2 Access Point for
repeating to occur.
The Delay Radio Reconfigure parameter allows you to delay radio parameter changes
from taking effect. You might want to enable this feature if you were wirelessly config-
uring the RangeLAN2 Access Point, so that you did not lose communication when the
parameters changed. For example, suppose you were changing a RangeLAN2 Access
Point's Domain from 0 to 1. If you did not use the Delay Radio Reconfigure param-
eter, when the Domain changed, the wireless client would no longer be able to commu-
nicate with the RangeLAN2 Access Point.
The Roam Config parameter allows you to determine how quickly this Access Point,
when configured as a Station, will roam from one Master RangeLAN2 Access Point to
another. In areas with many RangeLAN2 Access Points that provide heavy overlapping
coverage, set this parameter to Fast to maintain high throughput for each of the wireless
nodes.
In most networks, set the Roam Config parameter to Normal. Wireless node throughput
will not change noticeably, and an overabundance of Master RangeLAN2 Access Points
is not required.
If the wireless coverage area provided by Master RangeLAN2 Access Points is sparse,
set the Roam Config parameter to Slow. Wireless nodes will not roam until they are
nearly out of range of the Master RangeLAN2 Access Point.
When the RangeLAN2 Access Point is configured as a Station, you may enable or
disable its ability to roam when it loses synchronize with its Master Access Point. When
enabled, the radio will only search through its list of First Master To Sync To, Second
Master To Sync To, and Third Master To Sync To. When disabled, the radio will
never roam.
