APPENDIX B WI-FI PROGRAMMING
Due to numerous issues with discovering and programming radios connected to
Enterprise Wireless networks, it is
strongly
suggested that a single Access
Point Wireless network be used for programming radios with RPM2. See Section
B.7 for more information.
ISED restricts 5150-5250 MHz to indoor use only.
These instructions assume the user has a basic familiarity with Wireless (Wi-Fi)
networks, their configuration, and how to connect devices. If you are unfamiliar
with the terms and/or procedures mentioned in these instructions, please contact
your IT department for help before attempting to configure Wi-Fi programming.
For radios to be discoverable on the Wi-Fi network, your wireless router must be
configured to allow Multicast (mDNS). This varies by router manufacturer; refer
to your router’s documentation for specific settings needed to enable Multicast
(mDNS).
B.1 OVERVIEW
