Smart Scan - Motorola WS2000 - Wireless Switch - Network Management Device System Reference Manual

5.12 Smart Scan

Each radio, depending on the country it is operating in, provides a large number of channels for data
transmission. This means that when a MU roams from one AP to another, it has to scan all the available
channels for that radio to find the WLAN it was connected to. This scan process takes time depending on
the number of channels to scan.
When deploying real-time applications such as VoIP or video-streaming over wireless, this roaming latency
creates a break in these application. Smart Scan allows you to select the channels to scan on a radio to
reduce this latency.
To select the channels to scan, navigate to
