6. (Optional) Configure Background scanning.
Background scanning allowsthe device to scan for nearby access points and to move between
access points that have the same SSIDthat is configured for the client connection, based on
the signal strength of the access points.
a. Click to expand Background scanning.
b. Click Enable background scanning to enable.
c. For Scan threshold, enter a value in dBthat is used to determine the scanning frequency.
The allowed value is an integer between-113 and 0.
The Scan threshold works with the Short interval and Long interval optionsto
determine how often the device should scan for available access points:
n
If the signal strength from the accesspoint to which the client is currently
connected is below the Scan threshold, it will use the Short interval to determine
how often to scan for available accesspoints.
n
If the signal strength from the accesspoint to which the client is currently
connected is stronger the Scan threshold, it will use the Long interval to
determine how often to scan for available accesspoints.
n
If Short interval and Long interval are set to the same value, Scan threshold is
ignored. For example, the default configuration hasboth Short interval and Long
interval set to 1 second, which means that the device will scan for access points
once per second regardlessof the Scan threshold.
d. For Short interval, typethe number of secondsto wait between scansfor access points,
when the signal strength from the accesspoint to which the client is currently connected
isbelow the Scan threshold.
