infiNET™ Gateway/Transceiver: C2N-MNETGW
Operations Guide – DOC. 6317B
For systems using multiple gateways or systems operating in
environments containing other devices that use similar frequencies,
Crestron recommends setting the C2N-MNETGW to operate on a
fixed channel to avoid RF interference with other devices in the
vicinity. Ideally, each gateway should operate on its own channel
to avoid interfering with other gateways operating in the vicinity.
The infiNET signal protocol prevents data intended for one
gateway and its devices from being received by another gateway
and its devices.
For systems where three or more gateways are present, or where
there is considerable interference present from other devices,
Crestron recommends locating a quiet channel and setting the
C2N-MNETGW to operate in the fixed channel mode. For
assistance in locating available channels, Crestron recommends the
"Wi-Spy" spectrum analyzer, (available at
www.metageek.net
) or
other spectrum analyzer capable of analyzing the 2.4 GHz band.
For optimum performance when installing a C2N-MNETGW in a
Wi-Fi environment, do not set the C2N-MNETGW to a channel
within a Wi-Fi channel band.
•
Gateway channels 11-14 are within Wi-Fi channel 1 band.
•
Gateway channel 15 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channels 1 and 6.
•
Gateway channels 16-19 are within Wi-Fi channel 6 band.
•
Gateway channel 20 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channels 6 and 11.
•
Gateway channels 21-24 are within Wi-Fi channel 11 band.
•
Gateway channel 25 is adjacent to Wi-Fi channel 11.
•
Gateway channel 26 is neither within nor adjacent to any
Wi-Fi band.
For detailed information on infiNET channels, refer to “Appendix
A: The infiNET Spectrum” on page 28.
For systems with one or two gateways and minimal interference
from other devices that use similar frequencies, Crestron
recommends setting the C2N-MNETGW to automatically select
the operating channel.
