before roaming is attempted.

Custom (see Note above)
Default: 10 dBm (for 802.11b/g radio)

Roam Period
The amount of time, after association or a roam scan with no roam, that the radio collects
Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) scan data before a roaming decision is made.

BG Channel Set
Defines the 2.4GHz channels to be scanned for an AP when the radio is contemplating roaming.
By specifying the channels to search roaming time may be reduced over scanning all channels.
Options: Full (all channels)
1, 6, 11 (the most commonly used channels)
1, 7, 13 (For ETSI and TELEC radios only)
Custom (see Note above)
Default: Full
DFS Channels
Not currently supported.
Support for 5GHz 802.11a channels where support for DFS is required.

Aggressive Scan
When set to On and the current connection to an AP becomes weak, the radio scans for available
APs more aggressively. Aggressive scanning work with standard scanning (set through Roam
Trigger, Roam Delta and Roam Period). Aggressive scanning should b set to On unless there is
significant co-channel interference because of overlapping APs on the same channel.
Options: On, Off
Default: On
