SECTION 4 " Configuration

Super Root Selection

The access point with the highest assigned root priority becomes the super root whenever it is powered on and active. If the current super root goes offline, the remaining candidates negotiate to determine which one becomes the new super root. This normally takes about 1 minute.

The super root is always the access point with the highest root priority (other than 0). If two or more access points have the same root priority, the unit with the highest Ethernet address becomes the super root.

Super Root Redundancy

For redundancy, two or three access points should have a nonzero root priority. All other access points should have a root priority of 0. (Redundancy is the ability of another access point to take over if the super root goes offline.)

You should do the following:

"Configure one access point as a primary super root (with the highest root priority).

"Configure one or two access points as “fallback” super roots (with lower priority).

"Configure remaining access points with a root priority of 0.

[Global Radio]

"NOTE: Use the same [Global Radio] settings in all super root candidates.

[Global Radio] distributes network-wide configuration parameters. Settings in the super root are distributed throughout the network. Options are:

		Set Globally	Value
	UHF Rfp Threshold	<Disabled>	70
	UHF Frag Size	<Disabled>	250
	Falcon Frag Size	<Disabled>	250
	Awake Time	<Disabled>	0
