Important: 

To avoid interference, assign a unique PAN setting to each wireless network in a

building. Using a unique PAN setting is particularly important if you have PANs on adjacent

floors of a building. 

Do not use the same PAN OFFSET on multiple wireless networks in a

building, even if the PANs do not overlap

.
