Roam_Config - Proxim RangeLAN2 752 Series Manual

Roam_Config

The Roam_Config parameter allows you to determine how
tolerate a Station is to radio phenomena that can cause the unit to
roam from one RangeLAN2 Access Point or Extension Point to
another.
In areas with many RangeLAN2 Access Points (or Extension
Points) that provide heavy overlapping coverage, set this param-
eter to Fast to maintain high throughput for each of the wireless
nodes.
In most networks, set the Roam_Config parameter to Normal.
Wireless node throughput will not change noticeably, and an
overabundance of Access Points is not required.
If the wireless coverage area provided by RangeLAN2 Access
Points is sparse, set the Roam_Config parameter to Slow. Wire-
less nodes will not roam until they are nearly out of range of the
Access Point.
You need only set the Roam_Config parameter on a Station or
Alternate Master. Masters will ignore the parameter if it is set.
The Roam_Config settings for the DOS drivers are as follows:
Slow
