If you've done it properly, it "kind of" works. By kind of I mean that the handover is typically longer then desirable (can be few seconds) so that's not acceptable if you are moving fast. You need to have at least two APs within range for a few seconds to have "seamless" handover. If you walk slowly, it kind of works. At least with the UT Starcom phones and laptops. I still do not call it optimal. They key is, as said previously, to have one central DHCP server and all APs in simple AP mode (no routing). The same IP is valid on all APs so no re-registration or IP requests are necessary. Some people say it's best to have the APs on different channels, others say they should be on the same channel. We have tried the former, but it does depend on your environment. If the range is short (lots of thick walls) then having APs on the same channel may be desirable -- the device can see other APs more easily without re-tuning to a different channel. If you have too many on the same channel you simply get degraded signal due to interference. --Luki _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
