No the bssid 000000000000 just means "ANY"   From: Joe Laura [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 1:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Tom, If you select roaming then I am assumming you can leave whatever BSSID is set at. Now, Does the APPO have to have all 0's for the BSSID?  Joe Superior Wireless New Orleans,La. www.superior1.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Andrews To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 11:18 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Clients don't auto re-associate after replacing AP   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.   Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: Bobby Bounds To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 22:49 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   Bobby Bounds Airwave Internet, LLC Albuquerque, NM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
