252 | ADN Digital Conference System
* In some countries/regions (e.g. Canada), the use of wireless components operating in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency
band is restricted to indoor use.
** DFS channels (Dynamic Frequency Selection) are unlicensed frequencies i
n the 5.260 to 5.825 GHz frequency band that
can be occupied by authorized primary users.
If one of the DFS channels is used by a primary user (e.g. radar), this channel cannot be used by the ADN conference sys-
tem for at least 30 minutes. However, with both manual and automatic channel selection, the ADN conference system
automatically switches to an alternate channel. Upon expiry of the legal time frame (30minutes to 24hours), the ADN
conference system will check if the initially selected DFS channel is again available and will use it if needed.
