2 Enter the following parameters, pressing Enter after each change:
– Network Tag
– Network ID
– Join Key Part 1 to Part 4
3 If your national regulations require it, set the radio power to 0dBm (most allow10 dBm)
4 Leave all other parameters at their default values, unless you want to activate global avertising
and/or change the bandwidth profile, see below.

Bandwidth Profile This option allows you to increase network performance by reducing network latency. If battery
power is being used, this option increases energy consumption and reduces battery life. If a faster
response time is more important than battery life, set the profile to medium or high.
To activate the new profile, always choose Reform Network in Additional Functions > Reset
(see Chapter 11.1)
Global Advertising If Global Advertising is activated, the gateway and the network devices issue a series of identification
messages at a rate higher than normal to identify new wireless devices and to reduce the network
join time. The messages are sent until the Global Advertising Timeout is reached.
As Global Advertising increases energy consumption of the network devices it is recommended that
it is activated only when needed, e.g. during the set up of the network.
1Enter a Global Advertising Timeout (1 ... 255 minutes)
2 Press the Activate Global Advertising button; advertising starts immediately.
