Roaming - Heavy Overlap

Each RangeLAN2 Access Point within a roaming network must
be configured as a Master on a unique Channel/Subchannel pair,
but all must have the same Domain number and Security ID. The
portable PCs are equipped with RangeLAN2 7420 PC Cards
which are also set to the same Domain and Security ID. As the
portable PC seamlessly switches from cell to cell, its network
connectivity is preserved.
