Known APs Window

The Known APs window displays the APs in range using the same ESSID as the mobile computer. This window only available when
in the Infrastructure mode.
To open the Known APs window, tap Known APs in the Wireless Diagnostics window. The Known APs window displays.
The icon next to the AP indicates:
The AP is the currently associated access point, and it is set to mandatory.
The AP is the currently associated access point, but it is not set to mandatory.
The mobile computer is not currently associated to this AP, but the AP is set as mandatory.
The mobile computer is not currently associated to this AP, and AP is not set as mandatory.
Tapping and holding the stylus on a specific AP displays a context sensitive menu with the options: Set Mandatory and Set Roaming.
Selecting the Set Mandatory option prohibits the mobile computer from associating with a different AP. The letter M displays on top
of the icon when the Set Mandatory option is selected. The mobile computer connects to the selected AP and never roams until:
• Set Roaming is chosen
• The mobile computer roams to a new profile
• The mobile computer is suspended
• The mobile computer resets (warm or cold).
Selecting Set Roaming allows the mobile computer to roam to any AP with a better signal. These settings are temporary and never
saved to the registry.
Tap Refresh to update the list of the APs with the same ESSID. A signal strength value of 32 is the highest possible.
