The Radio Parameters are adjusted for the Wireless I/O Extender units and shouldn’t need adjusting unless other
Wireless I/O Extender systems are to be in RF range, then the frequency key should be changed for the different systems.
Also the output power can be lowered if the system is in close proximity.
Note: The other settings are discussed further in Appendix D.
