Wlan Ipcf Scan-Mode (Access Point) - Siemens SCALANCE W770 Series Configuration Manuals

Functions specific to SCALANCE
5.4 iPCF
The following points need to be taken into account when setting the cycle time. Otherwise it
may not be possible to establish stable communication.
● There is only one access point in the system; in other words, the clients move only in one
wireless cell. In this case, update times >= 16 ms are supported.
● There are several access points in the system that communicate over different channels.
The clients roam between the access points. In this case, select update times >= 32 ms.
In addition to the guide values shown above, remember that the shortest cycle time to be set
is calculated according to the formula "2 ms * max. number of nodes".
