Configuring a WGB for Limited Channel Scanning—In mobile environments such as railroads, a
WGB instead of scanning all the channels will be restricted to scan only a set of limited channels to
reduce the hand-off delay when the WGB roams from one access point to another. By limiting the
number of channels, the WGB scans to only those required; the mobile WGB achieves and maintains
a continuous wireless LAN connection with fast and smooth roaming. This limited channel set is
configured using the following command:

configured using the following command:
ap(config-if)#mobile station scan set of channels
This command invokes scanning to all or specified channels. There is no limitation on the maximum
number of channels that can be configured. The maximum number of channels that can be
configured is restricted only by the number of channels that a radio can support. When executed, the
WGB scans only this limited channel set. This limited channel feature also affects the known
channel list that the WGB receives from the access point to which it is currently associated.
Channels are added to the known channel list only if they are also part of the limited channel set.

Configuration Example
The following example shows how to configure a roaming configuration:
ap(config)#interface dot11radio 1
ap(config-if)#ssid outside
ap(config-if)#packet retries 16
ap(config-if)#station role workgroup-bridge
ap(config-if)#mobile station
ap(config-if)#mobile station period 3 threshold 50
ap(config-if)#mobile station scan 5745 5765
Use the no mobile station scan command to restore scanning to all the channels.
Configuring Interoperability with the Cisco 3200
Cisco AP1522 and AP1524PS can interoperate with the Cisco 3200 on the public safety channel
(4.9-GHz) as well as the 2.4-GHz access and 5.8-GHz backhaul.
(4.9-GHz) as well as the 2.4-GHz access and 5.8-GHz backhaul.
The Cisco 3200 creates an in-vehicle network in which devices such as PCs, surveillance cameras, digital
video recorders, printers, PDAs, and scanners can share wireless networks such as cellular or WLAN
based services back to the main infrastructure. This allows data collected from in-vehicle deployments
such as a police cars to be integrated into the overall wireless infrastructure.
