Notes:
When speed is Auto, duplex must be Auto or Half.
When speed is not Auto, duplex must be Half or Full.
Fixed speed Full duplex will produce errors connected to Auto, due to duplex
mismatch.
SmartRoam
SmartRoam monitors the signal strengths of all in-range access points belonging to the Extended
Service Set (ESS) to which the PremierWave is currently connected. When an AP is found with a
signal strength which is significantly greater than that of the currently associated AP, SmartRoam
automatically switches to the new AP. This reduces interruptions in wireless connectivity and
ensures optimal signal strength. Roaming happens automatically and is completely transparent to
the user; no loss of network connectivity should occur.
