7.3.2.3 Country settings

The use of radio channels for 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz is regulated and differs among countries
regarding the set of allowed radio channels and maximum transmission power.
Note: The VOCOM II factory default configuration uses a "golden set" of 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz
radio channels that can be used worldwide.
The VOCOM II Configurator will automatically set the WLAN regulatory country code based on
the locale settings of the client PC.
For the country-specific WLAN radio settings implemented in VOCOM II firmware see chapter
12.3 WLAN country settings.
These radio settings cannot be changed by the user.

7.3.2.4 Advanced Configuration setup

The VOCOM II Configurator allows Windows users with Administrator profile to manually
adjust the standard WLAN - Infrastructure configurations.
The following WLAN - Infrastructure settings can be manually adjusted:
 IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment.
 WLAN roaming threshold.
 Frequency band selection.
 Setup of VOCOM II for Unicast operation.
To show the manual WLAN - Infrastructure settings, perform the following steps:
1 Open the WLAN - Infrastructure configuration page.
2 Select Advanced configuration in the WLAN Configuration panel.
Fig. 7–16: WLAN - Infrastructure – Advanced Configuration

7.3.2.5 IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment

The VOCOM II WLAN interface configuration supports the following IPv4 and IPv6 address
assignment methods.
Assignment method Description
DHCP Use a dynamically assigned IP address

from the network’s DHCP server.
Use IP address Manually set a static IPv4 and/or IPv6

address.
APIPA Obtain a unique, link-local IP address using

a Zeroconf algorithm.
Tab. 7–4: IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment methods
To use a static IPv4 address assignment for the VOCOM II WLAN interface, perform the
following steps:
1 Open the WLAN - Infrastructure configuration page.
2 Select Advanced Configuration in the WLAN Configuration panel.
3 Change the IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment according to your needs.
4 Click Save.
5 Click Reboot.
Fig. 7–17: WLAN - Infrastructure configuration – static IPv4 address assignment

Note: The Gateway field has to be either set to the IP address of the wireless network
gateway or, if the client PC is located in the same network, left empty.
Note: Assigning a static IPv4 address is necessary if the Access Point of the wireless
network does not support DHCP and there is no DHCP server behind the Access Point.
7.3.2.6 WLAN roaming threshold

The WLAN roaming threshold parameter defines the Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) in dB. This is
used to set the background scanning interval for roaming.
If the SNR of the current Access Point is above the threshold (indicating a good signal), the
background scanning frequency is decreased. If the SNR of the current Access Point is below
the threshold (indicating a low signal), the background scanning frequency will be increased.
Note: If an Access Point with higher signal strength is found during background scanning,
VOCOM II will try to roam to the new Access Point.
Note: Only change the WLAN roaming threshold if you have connectivity problems due to too
frequent or too slow roaming. The default threshold value of 20 dB should work well for most
WLAN infrastructures.
7.3.2.7 Frequency band selection

The frequency band selection check boxes from WLAN – Infrastructure, Advanced Settings
allow users with Administrator profile to restrict WLAN channel scanning to either 2.4-GHz or
5-GHz channels.
By default VOCOM II performs scans for Access Points of a wireless network on both
frequency bands.
Note: Restricting the WLAN frequency band to either 2.4-GHz or 5-GHz will reduce the
number of WLAN channels to be considered in background scanning.

7.3.2.8 Unicast mode

Selecting check box Activate Unicast shows the following extra settings for wireless
infrastructure. This configuration is used when IP multicasting is not supported in the network.
Unicast mode enables the user to connect to a wireless network using unicasting.
Fig. 7–18: Unicast setting where Host Identifier is an IP address

Fig. 7–19: Unicast mode where host Identifier is Computer name and need DNS Server IP
If the host identifier is a DNS name, the Unicast infrastructure configuration will also require
the provision of the DNS server IP address.
Note: If the host identifier is a DNS name, it has to be a full qualified DNS name including the
DNS suffix.
For more information about Unicast infrastructure setup contact help desk.
