Subnet Roaming
The 3e-527A3 supports subnet roaming with 3eTI's subnet roaming coor-
dinator server installed. Subnet roaming occurs when a user roams to an 
access point that is connected to a different subnet than its home subnet. 
If subnet roaming is supported by the wireless infrastructure, the client 
is able to continue its network connectivity without having to change its 
IP address. Therefore, to the mobile device, roaming is transparent and it 
will continue to function as if it is in its home subnet.
The coordinator is a separate server that keeps track of the client's 
home network. The software is available from 3eTI upon request.
