The Best BU Parameters menu includes the following options:
Best BU Support
The Best BU Support option enables or disables the Best BU selection
feature.
The default is Disable.
NOTE
If the Best BU feature is not used, the RB associates with the first free BU it finds
whose ESSID or Operator ESSID is identical to its own ESSID.
Number Of Scanning Attempts
When the Best BU option is enabled, the RB gathers information on
neighboring free BUs for approximately 2 seconds on each of the
scanned frequencies. The Number of Scanning Attempts parameter
defines the number of times that the process will be repeated for all
relevant frequencies. A higher number may result in a better decision
at the cost of an increased scanning time during which the RB is not
operational.
Valid values: 1 - 255.
Default value: 4.
The total scanning time can be calculated based on the following
formula:
Scanning Time (secs) = N * F * 2
N = Number of scanning attempts.
F = Number of frequencies in the Frequency Subset defined in the
Frequency Definition submenu.
2 seconds is the time spent on each frequency while in scanning mode.
