This
is the reason I suggested a new feature a few weeks ago. Sometimes
you want to force a client device to associate with a specific Ap but if
that app is missing it should be able to associate to a different ap. That
way when you replace equiptment you don't have a big
problem.

On the ABO set the BSSID to all 00000000 or if
you have the latest simple monitor you can click on the box for roaming on the
Site Survey tab. I have forgotten to do that to a couple of installs and have
logged back in with Simple Monitor and made the change so I did not have to
back out to the customers site.

Subject: [smartBridges] Clients don't
auto re-associate after replacing AP
Today another APP failed on us
(#7 in last three weeks). This one was an APP Indoor (two weeks old). We�re
totally out of spares by now so I robbed an APPO from a less used site and
configured it exactly like the unit that failed, same channel, same name,
same ESSID, etc. We called our customers and had them cycle power on their
ABO�s but they did not auto re-associate. So, three truck rolls and three
hours later we got them going again.
At the customer site, they each
have routers, so they cannot easily log in to the SB client and re-associate
themselves. So, we show up w/our laptops and do it for them. My question is,
is there any way to get ABO�s to auto re-associate w/a new A/P (only thing
different is the MAC address, right?). Can you imagine the grief if you had,
say 50 clients on an A/P and it fails, then you replace the A/P and have to
roll-out to 50 customers just to get everyone going?
What am I missing
here?
TIA
