The following points need to be taken into account when setting the cycle time. Otherwise it
may not be possible to establish stable communication.
● There is only one access point in the system; in other words, the clients move only in one
wireless cell. In this case, update times >= 16 ms are supported.
● There are several access points in the system that communicate over different channels.
The clients roam between the access points. In this case, select update times >= 32 ms.
In addition to the guide values shown above, remember that the shortest cycle time to be set
is calculated according to the formula "2 ms * max. number of nodes".
Requirement
The SCALANCE W700 device is in access point mode.
You are in the Interface Configuration mode of the WLAN interface.
The command prompt is as follows:
cli (config-if-wlan-0-X)#
Syntax
Call up the command with the following parameters:
wlan ipcf cycle-time <ms (4-512)>
The parameter has the following meaning
