- All three cards have a transmitting frequency range of 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz with a transmitting power measured at the antenna of 100 milliwatts. The radio functions as a "frequency hopper" and by definition will "hop" between a preset range of frequenci

The master list will provide you with the WNI radio’s network address. Use the network address to
differentiate WNI’s in cases where multiple WNI’s are set to the same channel.
When the Main Menu is opened, the window displays which master (WNI) the laptop is synchronized to
(see illustration below). The Site Survey window lists all stations (wireless bedsides) synchronized to that
specific WNI. Since you can determine the radio address of the monitor at power up. You know the WNI
address from the master list; thus, you can determine which WNI a given wireless monitor is
communicating with. This is especially useful when you have an installation with multiple WNI’s on the
same channel, or the wireless bedsides are set to use the Auto-Channel Select mode, and there are
coverage problems. Channels dropping off the central display or numerous gaps in the waveform display
at the central are evidence of coverage problems.
