SECTION 4 " Configuration

The Slave access point synchronizes with Masters whose channel and subchannel appear in the list of configured Masters. Precedence is given by the order of the list. Master 1 has highest precedence; Master 8 has lowest.

Channel and subchannel settings can be 0, where 0 means “do not care.” For example:

"You can set the Master 1 channel to 0 and subchannel to 1. The Slave synchronizes with any Master on any channel as long as the Master’s subchannel is 1.

"You can set the Master 1 channel to 0 and subchannel to 0, which means “do not care.” The Slave synchronizes with any Master.

Remember that:

"Any Master with which the Slave is allowed to synchronize must have Wireless Hops enabled.

"A Slave station must have a root priority of 0.

"A Slave station must not be allowed to synchronize with a Master connected to its own secondary LAN.
