AP Selection Mode—The method used by the Remote to determine what
AP to connect to. It may be based on Signal, Distance and Bearing (from
the AP's GPS coordinates in the AP locations file), or Connection.
Table 3-2 on Page 70 summarizes these parameters and other selections
on this menu.
Max Scanning Time—The maximum time to try to connect to an AP before
trying the next one in the AP Locations file.
RSSI Threshold—The RSSI cutoff for Signal modes. When the RSSI drops
below this value, the Remote disconnects and looks for a new AP.
SNR Threshold—The SNR cutoff point for Signal modes. When the SNR
drops below this value, the Remote disconnects and looks for a new AP.
Distance Threshold—The distance cutoff when operating in Distance
mode. When the Remote's AP gets farther away than this distance, it dis-
connects and look for a new AP.
Blacklist Time—The amount of time (in seconds) that an AP is ignored
when the Remote is trying to find a better connection.
