But why wouldn't more than 2 clients associate to the AP? And it's always the same 2 depending on the frequency.
For example on 2415 I have two clients one at a -57 signal if I change frequency this -57 client will not associate and I never see more then 2. My understanding with GPS sync is it's all the same just provide the beat to the canopy and it will then do it's transmissions based on distance, control slot and %. But even if it was sync issue where I'm not in sync with other canopies around me WHY would ALL clients associate to the AP when I use Generate Sync on the AP?? That is what I don't get. I would think that if it was a different phasing the clients would associate but have jitter issues and frequent re-reg. But the case is only 2 clients associate to the AP when getting sync from timing port and all will associate when the AP itself generate sync. If there was problem receiving sync signal from the SyncPipe I would think NO clients would associate and you wouldn't see that status info on the GPS status tab? / Eje -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marco Coelho Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 11:10 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Odd canopy sync issue If you are not using a CMM, the sync source you are using may be providing sync at a different phase (timing) than the standard cmm.
