•
Clear All
—This command clears all entries in the Channel Config Menu, resetting the available
channels to “no usage.” Channels that are not available for use will appear with a notation of
NA
. These channels are not available because of pre-existing conditions, and are not user-con-
figurable.
•
Enter Channels
—This allows selection of the channels used for frequency hopping operation.
The selection of particular channels will result in an indication of
y
. Be aware that these chan-
nels do not become active until the
Commit Changes
selection is invoked.
•
Commit Changes
—Loads the active channels into the frequency list for frequency hopping
operation.
2.5.3 Advanced Configuration Menu
Normally, the radio network is installed for an “always connected” mode of operation. The Advanced Con-
figuration settings control radio behavior when your network is not running in this mode, such as when
Mobility is enabled.
NOTE:
These features should remain untouched unless instructed by GE MDS personal.

•
FPGA Reset Action
—Action to take when the FPGA reset period expires.
[FPGA Reset, FPGA+MAC
Reset, disabled; FPGA Reset]
•
FPGA Reset Period
—Time interval (in seconds) to wait for a Remote before performing the FPGA
reset action.
[10-600; 60]
•
FPGA Reset Logging
—Control whether FPGA resets are logged in the event log.
[enabled, disabled; disabled]
2.5.4 Skip Zones Menu
•
Skip Zones (Applies to iNET only. Editable at AP Only.)
—This selection brings up a submenu
(Figure 2-36) that displays the current utilization of zones. Each zone consists of eight RF channels.
In some instances there may be a part of the spectrum used by another system, that results in “con-
tinuous” or “persistent” interference to your system. To alleviate this form of interference, the trans-
ceiver may be programmed to “block out” affected portions of the spectrum using the Skip Zones
Menu.
