7. Scanning the usage of operating channels
The CDS-6IP 3PoE modules allow scanning the ether for frequencies used
nearby. It is a very useful tool when setting up the working channel. With it, we
know which channels to avoid and which are free and can be used for wireless
transmission of signals from the IP cameras. Using a channel that is already occupied by other
transmission lines may result in interference or no transmission at all.
To scan channels, temporarily switch unit to SLAVE mode (Cameras). To do this, go to the
menu
CAMERA CONNECTION SETTINGS → Wireless Settings and select the Slave (Cameras)
parameter. Confirm with the Save Changes button.
Click the SCAN MASTERS button to begin scanning automatically. After a while, the list of
frequencies used in the area will be displayed together with the strength of their signals. The
signals below -85 and that kind of frequencies, alongside with channels not listed, may be
used for wireless video transmission.
Warning
Do not use the AUTO channel settings. Be sure to select the channel number permanently according
to the current network bandwidth consumption.
