the destination station. However, the advantage of StructureNet is that the MIS manager can have more
control over the connections because they pass through a single access point. Also because each station
associates with only one access point at a time, it is possible for the station to dynamically change radio
channels when switching from one access point to another. This is known as “multi-channel” roaming.
In larger networks where the manager wishes to have more control over connections and may wish to
implement a radio cell organization in which each radio cell is on a different radio channel, StructureNet
TM
is a good choice.
If this is your first experience with the Access Point we recommend that you use Instawave for initial
testing and, if required, change to StructureNet once you are satisfied with the operation of the wireless
network.
To use StructureNet you must configure the AP-2 with “mode: StructureNet” and configure the mobile
stations with the same ESSID value as on the AP-2.
2.4 Roaming
With multiple LAN Access Points installed, a user can roam from cell to cell and maintain a wireless
connection to the server. For example, a user at location A will be served by cell site 1. At location B,
either cell 1 or 2 will serve him. Likewise, when the user roams out of cell site 2, he will be picked up by
cell site 3.
