When an AP isfound with a signal strength which is significantly greater than that of the currently associated AP,the SmartRoam utility automatically switches to the new AP. This reduces interruptions in wirelessconnectivity and ensures optimal signal strength. Roaming happens automatically and iscompletely transparent to the user; no loss of network connectivity should occur.The SmartRoam utility periodically scans for access points which belong to the current ESS(having the same SSID and security settings at the currently associated AP.) The results are thensearched for an AP with a 'stronger' signal (higher RSSI) than the current AP. If the search issuccessful, SmartRoam triggers a disconnection from the current AP and a connection to the oneselected from the scan results.Since moving between access points is a time-consuming process which can negatively impactthroughput, SmartRoam employs a delta value to ensure that the move only occurs if there wouldIPv6 Address Enter the static IPv6 address to use for the interface.Note: This setting is used if Static IPv6 is active (DHCPv6 is Disabled). Changingthis value requires a reboot. When DHCPv6 is enabled, the XPort Pro Lx6 tries toobtain an IPv6 address from a DHCPv6 server. If it cannot, then XPort Pro Lx6generates and uses a Link local IPv6 address.IPv6 Default Gateway Enter the default IPv6 Default Gateway.IPv6 Domain Enter the IPv6 domain name suffix for the interface.Note: This setting will be used when Static IP is active, or if IPv6 DHCP client isactive and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server.IPv6 Primary DNS Enter the IPv6 address of the primary Domain Name Server.Note: This setting will be used when Static IP is active, or if IPv6 DHCP client isactive and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server.IPv6 Secondary DNS Enter the IPv6 address of the secondary Domain Name Server.Note: This setting will be used when Static IP is active, or if IPv6 DHCP client isactive and no Domain Suffix was acquired from the server.Network 2 (wlan0)Interface SettingsDescription
