A Network Properties dialog box is displayed. Using this dialog
box, the basic parameters of the new network is defined:
?? Network Name: Use up to 20 alpha/numeric characters. The
OS2400 Setup Application will use this assigned name in all
subsequent references to this network. The network name
cannot easily be changed. It is recommended that the
user choose a descriptive name that all who may be
involved in the network’s maintenance will recognize.
?? Network Type: From the drop down list select “Point-to-
Point” or “Point Multipoint”. See Network Types in this Help
system for an illustration of the available network types.
?? Network Channel: Network channel selection is used to allow the operation of
up to 32 different networks in the same location. For network functionality these
channel requirements must be adhered to:
?? The Master Radio and Remote Radio (or Radios) of each network must be assigned to the same channel.
?? Networks in close proximity must be assigned to different channels. If the same channel is selected for two
networks that are close to each other, the networks will interfere with each other, and may not communicate
at all.
OK: to confirm/enter the selected network configuration and proceed to the graphical layout screen.
CANCEL: to close the Network Properties dialog box, discarding any changes made to the network properties.
