Managing Connections to Specific Base Stations
A list of specific base stations can be created for the RUGGEDCOM WIN to connect to. When enabled, only base
stations whose identifiers (IDs) are in the list can be connected to. A maximum of five base station IDs are
allowed. Connecting only to specific base stations can prevent devices from flapping between base stations with
overlapping coverage.

Section 5.3.1
Enabling/Disabling Allowed Base Stations
Choose whether to allow the RUGGEDCOM WIN to connect to specific base stations in the
Allowed BS List
table
or to all base stations. When the
Connect only to allowed BS
parameter is enabled, the RUGGEDCOM WIN only
connects to the base stations in the list. When disabled, the RUGGEDCOM WIN can connect to any base station.
NOTE
Base station identifiers cannot be enabled or disabled if the RUGGEDCOM WIN is in scanning mode.
Click
Disconnect
before enabling or disabling the base stations. Do not click
Disconnect
if using the
RF Interface. This will stop the RUGGEDCOM WIN from transmitting and it will lose its connection to the
base station(s). A hard reset (shutting down and then powering up) or a site visit will be required to
reboot the RUGGEDCOM WIN using the GUI.
