Managing Network Interfaces
38 Wavion
On this page you can configure the wireless interface. There are several recommendations
for this page.
Setting the Operational Channel
Operational channels should be set up in such a way that if you have multiple units which are
located in the same area, they interfere with each other as little as possible. If you have up
to three units, it is recommended to use channels 1, 6, and 11, as that minimizes
interference between the channels.
The wireless activity in a channel is an important factor in network performance. Channel
activity is indicated by Total CCA Activity; low values indicate low activity in the channel.
To set the Operational Channel
In the Status and Configuration area, from the dropdown list in the Operational Channel
field, select the channel on which the system runs. Default is Channel 6: 2437 MHz.
Setting the Transmission Power
Be sure the Transmission Power is set to the maximum; the radio button in this field should
be set on the setting closest to the word Max.
Selecting the Interferer Handling Mode
The default Interferer Handing Mode is Dynamic. This mode adaptively changes the system
sensitivity according to the interference conditions in the environment. In some cases, using
the static (standard) mode may result in better performance than dynamic due to limitations
with tracking the exact interference. Such cases may be:
• When the Noise Level measurement indicates the presence of significant interference
conditions; that is the noise level is above nominal non-interfered levels and the traffic
appears to be low.
• When the maximin range is desired.
Saving Changes
1. Click Apply.
2. Click Save.
NOTE: The Total CCA activity represents all traffic; including that of the
WS410. Measurements made to select a channel are best performed when
there is limited or no traffic to WS410.
