Channel number
You can assign a channel number for the multinode to use or allow the software to select
the optimum channel for multinode communications.
The Channel Number allows you to assign frequencies to a series of access points to
minimize noise when many multinodes are used in the same WLAN. For example, there
are 11 channel numbers that may be assigned. If you assign channel number 1 to the first
wireless AP in a series, then assign channel 6 to the next AP, then channel 11, and then
continue assigning APs to channels 1, 6, 11, you will achieve the optimum frequency
spread to minimize noise.
Table 6 lists the channel numbers and frequencies used for the available wireless modes.
Note that the
Country Code selection determines the available frequency bands and
channels for use in the wireless network. Therefore, all channel numbers in the table
below may not be available for use in the network location.
Optimal channel selection
If you click on the button Select the optimal channel , a popup screen will display the
available channels and the relative use of each channel in the local area as shown in the
figure. The software will select the optimal channel for you. The figure below shows that
the channel used the least in the local area is channel 6.
