Under WEBconfig or Telnet the network settings for the logical WLAN
interfaces can be found under the following paths:
3.6.3 The roaming table
The roaming table contains various threshold values which influence the pre-
cise control over the BAT Wireless Router's behavior when roaming in the
'Client' operating mode.
D Soft roaming
This option enables a client to use scan information to roam to the stron-
gest access point (soft roaming). Roaming due to connection loss (hard
roaming) is unaffected by this. The roaming threshold values only take
effect when soft roaming is activated.
D Beacon miss threshold
This defines how many access-point beacons can be missed before an
associated client starts searching again.
Higher values will delay the recognition of an interrupted connection, so a
longer time period will pass before the connection is re-established.
The smaller the value set here, the sooner a potential interruption to the
connection will be recognized; the client can start searching for an alter-
native access point sooner.
D Default: 4
Note: Values which are too small may cause the client to detect lost connec-
tions more often than necessary.
D Roaming threshold
This value is the percentage difference in signal strength between access
points above which the client will switch to the stronger access point.
D Default: 15
