Roaming
| RSSI Threshold:
|
RSSI Threshold when to start roaming. Valid range is between -80 dbM and -60 dBm. Note that this option only effects the idle mode. During call mode, the handset scans periodically for better RSSI, and roams on 6dBm difference. This is an advanced option, which one may never have to use.
It make sense to increase the threshold in office bulding with lots of walls and corners where the signal strength decreases very fast due to fast movements around corners. in this case -65dBm could be used.
Decreasing the threshold is very unlikely.
|
| Channel Mask:
|
Channel bitmask. Provide here a HEX number for channels that should be scanned by handset. Is used to increase roaming performance. If, for example, the WLAN infrastructure only uses channels 1,6 and 11, the channel mask 0x421 could be used.
However, this is an advanced option, which one may never have to use.
Examples:
0x1FFF = 1111111111111 scan all 13 Channels
0x7FF = 0011111111111 scan all 11 Channels
0x421 = 0010000100001 scan only 11,6,1
0x1020 = 1000000100000 scan only 13 and 6
