Roaming Link Profile This parameter enables you to configure a roaming link profile for the roaming enabled SUs.
When roaming is enabled on the BSU, select a profile from the configured link profiles, which
serves as the roaming profile. The Default profile serves as the roaming profile when no profile
is selected. The configured roaming profile is mapped to all the roaming enabled SUs. For the
SUs with roaming disabled, the profile configured in the SU profiles list will be used.
When roaming is disabled on the BSU, the SUs are mapped to the corresponding profile from
the SU Profiles list.
Announce Period When roaming is enabled on a BSU, the BSU sends ANNOUNCE messages for every
configured Announce period. The Announce period can be configured in the range 25 to 100
milliseconds. By default, it is configured to 25 milliseconds.
When roaming is disabled on a BSU, the Announce period is set to 150 milliseconds.
: Reducing the Announce Period improves the roaming time and may result in lower
throughput.
Max. Packets Per Burst When roaming is enabled on a BSU, the maximum number of messages that can be sent in a
burst can be configured in the range 1 to 16.
When roaming is disabled on a BSU, the maximum packets per burst is set to 4.
:
·
Reducing the number of messages per burst improves the roaming time and may
result in lower throughput.
·
If the maximum packets per burst configured in QoS (See
} { { k y

) is greater than this value, then this parameter supersedes.
After configuring the above parameters, click OK and then COMMIT.
