3. Click OK again to save the new configuration to the Base Station and to
return to the main AP Manager window.
4. Next create a backup-file of the new configuration (see Step 4 - Create a
Back-up of the Configuration).
5. Update the “Base Station Configuration Record” in Appendix A: Start Up
Configuration on page A-1 to reflect these changes.
6. (Optionally) Modify the configurations of all your other Base Stations
accordingly. We recommend that you use different frequencies for
neighboring Base Stations, as described in Dual Channel Configuration on
page 6-15 or Multiple-Channel Configuration on page 6-16.
Link Integrity
In situations where the connection of the Base Station to the rest of the
Ethernet network fails, typically as a result of a broken cable connection or
network error, the Ethernet failure might disrupt regular network
communication for (roaming) wireless stations.
This feature is only used if your network provides duplicate ethernet connections.
If the wireless connection however is still intact, the wireless station would not
roam to another Base Station, since its radio might still interpret its “physical”
connection to the Base Station as “good” or “acceptable”.
The Ethernet link integrity feature is a high-end solution that enables you to
resolve this type of network failures, as it allows Base Stations to:
! Detect any disruption in its connection to network services by testing the
link between the Base Station and a maximum of three IP hosts.
! Reconnect automatically to another Base Station in situations where
disruptions occur that are not related to poor radio communications.
