ShoreTel Mobility Router Administration Guide 100
In addition the previous methods to define location, the Mobility Router gathers location information
from ShoreTel Mobility Clients on the mobile devices as users roam from access points known by the
Mobility Router to unknown access points. If the mobile device roams from a known access point to an
unknown access point, ShoreTel Mobility Client sends a query to the Mobility Router with the unknown
access point’s information. The Mobility Router adds this access point to its list of known access
points.

Establishing Default Mobility Settings
Default mobility settings are applied to locations where a calibrated Route Point is not specified or not
needed. In this case, the default settings trigger the handover as needed. The default mobility settings
and enterprise-location specific settings combine to support seamless roaming between the Wi-Fi and
cellular network, which ensures that the ShoreTel Mobility solution optimizes the available Wi-Fi
network and reduces use of the cellular network while inside the enterprise.
The Mobility Router uses default mobility values for voice call quality. These default values can be
used for two purposes:
 To establish initial mobility values when creating new enterprise locations. You can adjust the
default mobility settings per floor when creating Route Points, or you can use the default settings.
Per-floor settings apply only if Route Points exist.
 To determine when a handover should take place in locations where no Route Points are
established or Route Points are not needed. These settings apply only if no Route Points are
present.
In addition to specifying default mobility settings for the enterprise, you can also specify default
mobility settings for home locations for users. These default mobility settings apply to all home
locations unless you override these settings by modifying them for specific home locations for users.
For information about modifying mobility settings for user home locations, see “Modifying Home
Location General Settings” on page 208.
You can review or change the default mobility settings to meet your network requirements.
Note
Only Nokia devices support the use of home locations.
