Masimo
transmission is an optional network data transmission to the wired network data
transmission, using Root’s integral Ethernet Port.
Root uses only configured MAC addresses to establish wireless communications to
prevent unauthorized connections to other wireless devices. As risk mitigation to the
loss of the wireless communication, Root’s alarm capabilities have been designed to
be independent of the Wi-Fi communication feature in order to preserve Root’s
primary alarms.
Use the Wi-Fi screen to enable or disable Wi-Fi connectivity. When Root is
connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon on the Status Bar conveys the strength
of the connection. See About the Status Bar.
