I am wondering if anyone here have setup a wireless network with
multiple access point and having roaming client. 

I have setup multiple Cisco Aironet 1100 AP all over our factory floor.
I made sure the channels does not overlap.  According to one of the tech
I spoke to from our vendor, he recommended that I use different SSID for
each of the AP.  So that is how I set it up.  The clients are thin
client running on forklift truck.  The terminals are Viewsonic 1100
tablet PC terminals.  The problem I have is that when they are running
around, and get out of range of the original AP they are using, the
tablet PC does not automatically reaquire a new AP that is in its range.
One have to manually hit the rescan to reconnect to another AP.  Any
idea how this can be done?

Thanks for any input

Vince
