Symbol recommends conducting a new site survey and developing a new
coverage area floor plan when switching from 1 or 2 Mbps frequency-
hopping access points to 11 Mbps direct-sequence access points.
1.3 Access Point Functional Theory
To improve AP management and performance, users need to understand
basic AP functionality and configuration options. The AP includes features
for different interface connections and network management.
The AP provides MAC layer bridging between its interfaces. The AP monitors
traffic from its interfaces and, based on frame address, forwards the frames
to the proper destination. The AP tracks the frames sources and destinations
to provide intelligent bridging as MUs roam or network topologies change.
The AP also handles broadcast and multicast messages and responds to MU
association requests.
