5-42 WS2000 Wireless Switch System Reference Guide
5.12 Smart Scan
Each radio, depending on the country it is operating in, provides a large number of channels for data
transmission. This means that when a MU roams from one AP to another, it has to scan all the available
channels for that radio to find the WLAN it was connected to. This scan process takes time depending on
the number of channels to scan.
When deploying real-time applications such as VoIP or video-streaming over wireless, this roaming latency
creates a break in these application. Smart Scan allows you to select the channels to scan on a radio to
reduce this latency.
To select the channels to scan, navigate to [Network Configuration]-->Wireless-->APs/Radios--
>smartscan. The smartscan screen displays.
To select the channels to scan:
1. Select the channels to scan for each radio type. Multiple channels can be selected by using the CTRL
Key+ mouse click combination.
2. Click Add button to move the selected channels from the Channel Available list to the Channel.
Assigned list. Scan will be performed only on the channels in the Channel Assigned list.
Click Delete button to remove channels from the Channel Assigned list to the Channel Available
list. The removed channels will not be scanned.
You can select the scan channels for both radio types.
