Description: This document describes the configuration steps required to use the Seamless Roaming function in the LANCOM Advanced VPN Client. Seamless Roaming automatically switches the VPN tunnel to another Internet transmission medium when required. If, for example, a notebook using a wireless LAN or UMTS/3G connection is inserted into a docking station, the connection automatically switches to LAN. The IP address is retained so that an application communicating over the VPN tunnel can remain operational without interruption. If the Internet connection is briefly interrupted, for example because of poor reception, then the VPN tunnel is logically put "on hold". In this case, too, an application working over a VPN tunnel can thus survive a brief interruption without losing its session.
