If the coverage area provided by OpenAir Access Points is
sparse, set the Roam Config parameter to Slow.  Mobile clients
will not roam until they are nearly out of range of the Access
Point.
You can configure the Roam Config parameter within the
Advanced tab of the Proxim Status utility, which is described in
Chapter 5.
Inactivity Timeout
To conserve battery life, the OpenAir CompactFlash Card has
an inactivity doze mode when using the OpenAir standard.
The doze mode is automatically engaged when a certain period
of time has elapsed since the Windows CE device has sent or
received data over the network.  Once the card has entered the
doze mode, it draws less power from the Windows CE device.
The card can be awakened from doze mode by a Master unit
attempting to send data to it.  The time before dozing is calcu-
lated by adding the Inactivity Minutes and Inactivity Seconds
parameters.
By default, the Inactivity Timeout is set to 30 seconds.  Setting
both Inactivity Seconds and Inactivity Minutes to 0 will pro-
hibit the OpenAir CE PC Card from entering the doze mode.
Note that disabling the doze mode may dramatically decrease
the battery life of a CE device.  If you intend to disable the doze
mode, you may want to use the CE device with AC power.
The Inactivity Timeout parameters may be set within the Ad-
vanced tab of the Proxim Status utility, which is described in
Chapter 5.  Also, see Chapter 6 for an important performance
note regarding the Inactivity Timeout parameter.
