Planning Your Wireless Network

Roaming

Cisco WAP200 Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and Rangebooster 3

Roaming

An infrastructure configuration also supports roaming capabilities for mobile

users. Roaming means that you can move your wireless computer within your

network and the access points will pick up the wireless computer’s signal,

providing that they both share the same wireless channel, SSID, and wireless

security settings.

This access point has 802.11F Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) to complete the

roaming process in seconds. If your wireless networks share the same IP subnet,

this does not disrupt your data connection while moving around.

Before you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum

access point position. Proper access point positioning combined with a clear radio

signal will greatly enhance performance.

Network Layout

The WAP200 Access Point supports 802.11g and 802.11b products such as the

notebook adapters for your laptop computers, PCI adapters for your desktop

computers, and USB adapters.

These wireless products can also communicate with a 802.11g or 802.11b

wireless print server.

To link your wired network to your wireless network, connect the access point’s

Ethernet network port to any switch or router with PoE.
