Mission Commander (which can contain topographic data) to select the zone the unit
operates in. The manual zone button is useful for testing the zone functions correctly.
Each zone uses a base configuration. This is the configuration stored in the Configuration tab
panel. The base configuration is then overlaid and overwritten with the local parameters
from the Zone tab such as frequency, mesh ID etc. If the Overwrite IP Address box is
selected then DHCP Enable, IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway on the Global Setting
> main tab will also be overwritten with the local values from the Zone tab. The Zone
Name is not used but is useful for identification.
Using the same configuration for multiple zones allows, for example, the scrambling keys
and VLAN addresses to be reused.
Setting the base configuration to off disables the zone.
Note: When roaming is enabled, some of the parameters on the global settings and
configuration panels will be overwritten with the zone information. The update all nodes
checkbox will also be cleared.
The active zone box together with the green highlighted roaming zone indicates which zone
is currently active.
