Roaming
An infrastructure configuration also supports roaming capabilities for mobile
users. Roaming means that you can move your wireless computer within your
network and the access points will pick up the wireless computer’s signal,
providing that they both share the same wireless security and SSID.
Before you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum
access point position. Proper access point positioning combined with a clear
radio signal will greatly enhance performance.
NOTE Spanning Tree Protocol should be disabled on the switches connecting to the APs
to allow roaming to work without disruption.
Network Layout
The WAP2000 access point has been designed for use with 802.11g and 802.11b
products, such as the notebook adapters for your laptop computers, PCI adapters
for your desktop computers, and USB adapters for either a laptop or desktop.
These wireless products can also communicate with a 802.11g or 802.11b
wireless print server.
To link your wired network to your wireless network, connect the access point’s
Ethernet network port to any switch or router.
