[Aironet] RE: Long distance synchronization

[Lechner, D. <Le...@dr...>]

We are trying to get the maximum distance between our Aironet base station
and a mobile laptop (PCMICA cards) for field use in suevey and data
collection.  We are operating right at the margins of power and our
calculations are showing that we should be ok, but we get a problem every
time we get past a certain limit (which was not power signal strength
related) - seems like we just loose synch -  We've seen some references to a
"time-out" limit in which the cards seem to need to know that you are not
close and so wait longer while listening for synchs - waht is this, is it
true, and does anyone know how to change that parameter in either Aironet or
newer Cisco vintage cards?
Thanks in advance -
