6.1.1.3 Wireless roaming on the second floor Wireless roaming means that wireless users can move in the coverage of the same VLAN when there are multiple APs existing in the network environment, and their wireless coverages overlap in a certain range; the wireless network card can automatically find the AP with the highest signal strength nearby, and receive and transmit data via this AP, thus keeping the network connection uninterrupted. Figure 6- 2 Roaming on the second floor As shown in the above figure, AP1, AP2 belong to the same VLAN and are associated with AC. 1) A terminal is wirelessly associated with AP1, and AP1 connects AC. 2) The terminal disconnects its association with AP1, and roams into the AP2 connecting the wireless controller AC in the same VLAN. 3) The process that the terminal is connected to AP2 from AP1 is two-layer wireless roaming. Way of implementation: Configure a service area on the device and enable the roaming function, and add AP1, AP2 into the same service area; when the AP reaches the set roaming threshold, the two-layer wireless roaming can be realized. 6.2 Device settings Click on the Device menu, to enter the page of device, and the administrator can view all the APs in the current intranet, to position, restart, set in batch the online AP, or delete all offline APs.

6.1.1.3 Wireless roaming on the second floor
Wireless roaming means that wireless users can move in the coverage of the same VLAN when there are multiple
APs existing in the network environment, and their wireless coverages overlap in a certain range; the wireless
network card can automatically find the AP with the highest signal strength nearby, and receive and transmit data
via this AP, thus keeping the network connection uninterrupted.
Figure 6- 2 Roaming on the second floor
As shown in the above figure, AP1, AP2 belong to the same VLAN and are associated with AC.
1) A terminal is wirelessly associated with AP1, and AP1 connects AC.
2) The terminal disconnects its association with AP1, and roams into the AP2 connecting the wireless controller
AC in the same VLAN.
3) The process that the terminal is connected to AP2 from AP1 is two-layer wireless roaming.
Way of implementation: Configure a service area on the device and enable the roaming function, and add AP1,
AP2 into the same service area; when the AP reaches the set roaming threshold, the two-layer wireless roaming
can be realized.
6.2 Device settings
Click on the
Device
menu, to enter the page of device, and the administrator can view all the APs in the current
intranet, to position, restart, set in batch the online AP, or delete all offline APs.

Batch management: After selecting multiple APs, click on the button to do the batch operations to
AP, like
modifying login passwords, restarting, restoring the factory settings, etc.
Clear offline AP: Click to remove all the offline
APs.
Name/MAC address: Displays the name or MAC address of the current AP. Click on the MAC address to set
the AP. For the information about how to set the AP, please refer to the chapter:
