The Roam Config parameter allows you to determine how quickly an Ethernet Adapter, set as a Station, will roam from one Master Access Point to another. In areas with many RangeLAN2 Access Points that provide heavy overlapping coverage, set this parameter 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 RangeLAN2 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 RangeLAN2 Access Point to which they are synchronized. This parameter is visible only when the Ethernet Adapter is set as a Station.
Note:
Note that wireless clients can NOT roam between multiple Ethernet Adapters set as Masters or between a RangeLAN2 Access Point and an Ethernet Adapter. RangeLAN2 products only support roaming between Access Points and Extension Points.
You may choose to disable a RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter’s ability to roam from one Master RangeLAN2 Access Point to another with the Roaming Enabled parameter. This feature is enabled by default and is visible only when the Ethernet Adapter is set as a Station.
