Custom Parameter Option

The parameter value is displayed as “Custom” when the operating system registry has been edited to set the Summit parameter to a value that is not available from the parameter’s drop down list. Selecting Custom from the drop down list has no effect. Selecting any other value from the drop down list will overwrite the “custom” value in the registry.

Roam Trigger

-65 dBm

If signal strength is less than this trigger value, the client looks for a dif-

 

 

ferent Access Point with a stronger signal.

 

 

Options are: -50 dBm, -55,-60,-65,-70,-75,-80,-85,-90 dBm or .

 

 

 

Roam Delta

5 dBm

The amount by which a different Access Point signal strength must ex-

 

 

ceed the current Access Point signal strength before roaming to the dif-

 

 

ferent Access Point is attempted.

 

 

Options are: 5 dBm, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 dBm or Custom.

 

 

 

Roam Period

10 sec.

The amount of time, after association or a roam scan with no roam, that

 

 

the radio collects Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) scan data

 

 

before a roaming decision is made.

 

 

Options are: 5 sec, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 seconds or

 

 

Custom.

 

 

 

BG Channel Set

Full

Defines the 2.4GHz channels to be scanned for an AP when the radio is

 

 

contemplating roaming. By specifying the channels to search, roaming

 

 

time may be reduced over scanning all channels.

 

 

Options are:

 

 

Full (all channels)

 

 

1,6,11 (the most commonly used channels)

 

 

1,7,13 (for ETSI and TELEC radios only)

 

 

or Custom.

 

 

 

DFS Channels

Off

Support for 5GHZ 802.11a channels where support for DFS is required.

 

 

Options are: On, Off, Optimized.

 

 

Not supported (always off) in some releases.

 

 

 

DFS Scan Time

120 ms.

ABG radio only. The amount of time the radio will passively scan each

 

 

DFS channel to see if it will receive a beacon.

 

 

Recommended value is 1.5 times that of the AP's beacon period.

 

 

 

Ad Hoc Channel

1

Use this parameter when the Radio Mode profile parameter is set to Ad

 

 

Hoc.

 

 

Specifies the channel to be used for an Ad Hoc connection to another cli-

 

 

ent device. If a channel is selected that is not supported by the by the ra-

 

 

dio, the default value is used.

 

 

Options are:

 

 

1 through 14 (the 2.4GHz channels)

 

 

36, 40, 44, 48 (the UNII-1 channels)

 

 

 

6 - 11
