A larger value, for example -65 dBm will cause the phone to scan for
alternate Wireless APs more often, which will result in more wireless
traffic and slightly decreased battery life. A smaller value, for example -75
dBm will cause the phone to roam too late, causing voice interruptions
during roaming.
• In the Preamble Type section, select Short. The short preamble
provides for higher voice capacity.
If legacy pre-11b devices are present in the coverage area or you are
unsure if legacy pre-11b devices are present in the coverage area, select
