Note: Other contexts require the value of signal strengths in dB. The follow-
ing conversion applies:
64dB - 100%
32dB - 50%
0dB - 0%
D No roaming threshold
This threshold refers to the field strength in percent. Field strengths
exceeding the value set here are considered to be so good that no switch-
ing to another access point will take place.
D Default: 45
D Forced roaming threshold
This threshold refers to the field strength in percent. Field strengths below
the value set here are considered to be so poor that a switch to another
access point is required.
D Default: 12
D Connect threshold
This value defines field strength in percent defining the minimum that an
access point has to show for a client to attempt to associate with it.
D Default: 0
D Connect hold threshold
This threshold defines field strength in percent. A connection to an access
point with field strength below this value is considered as lost.
D Default: 0
3.7 IEEE 802.11i for point-to-
point connections in the
WLAN
BAT Wireless access points serve not only as central stations within a wire-
less network, they can also operate in point-to-point mode to bridge longer
distances. For example, they can provide a secure connection between two
networks that are several kilometers apart—without direct cabling or expen-
sive leased lines.
The behavior of an access point when exchanging data with other access
points is defined in the "Point-to-point operation mode".
