Connection Time—
Amount of time that a Remote waits before
breaking the connection and looking for an AP. This event hap-
pens only when the current AP is not the first entry in the
Approved AP List, which means that the remote is not con-
nected to the primary AP.
•
Approved Access Points List
—Displays the list of Approved AP
used for local authentication purposes. This table is not the same
as the Priority Table discussed here, and is only included as an
aid to facilitate configuration.
•
Import from Approved List
—Copies the entries configured in the
Approved AP List to this priority table.

1-10
—Priority Table of Access Points. This table should include
the Wireless MAC Address of the desired Access Point units.
When association to an AP is terminated for any reason, the Remote
enters Scanning mode. During this time it listens for beacons from an
AP that matches the network name. If the Prioritized AP option is
enabled, then the Wireless MAC Address of the AP must be part of the
list at the remote. The initial list includes only the first entry of the table.
If no beacon is received that matches the requirement and the Scan Time
is exceeded, then the list is expanded to include the first two entries.
When a beacon matches the requirements, then the association process
continues. It may be that the Remote associates to an AP that is not the
first entry in the table. In this case the Remote will wait for Connection
Time before breaking the connection and starting the process all over
again. This process will be repeated until the Remote associates to the
first entry in the list (the Primary Access Point).
2.5 RADIO CONFIGURATION
There are two primary data layers in the transceiver network—radio and
data. Since the data layer is dependent on the radio layer working prop-
erly, configuration of the radio items should be reviewed and set before
proceeding. This section explains the
Radio Configuration Menu ,
(Figure 2-25 for AP, Figure 2-26 for Remote).
