The following requirements must be met in order for wireless stations to roam between the 
coverage areas. 

1 All the access points must be on the same subnet and configured with the same ESSID. 

2 If IEEE 802.1x user authentication is enabled and to be done locally on the access point, 

the new access point must have the user profile for the wireless station.

3 The adjacent access points should use different radio channels when their coverage areas 

overlap. 

4 All access points must use the same port number to relay roaming information. 

5 The access points must be connected to the Ethernet and be able to get IP addresses from 

a DHCP server if using dynamic IP address assignment. 

To enable roaming on your ZyAIR, click the WIRELESS link under ADVANCED and then
