MAC Address for Identification
- For identification, fixed addresses are assigned to the WDT, which is called a MAC Address (IEEE Address).
The MAC address is printed on the WDT, in the locations indicated below:
WDT-5E-Z2 / WDT-6M-Z2
WDT-5LR-Z2 / WDT-6LR-Z2
(2) Using with other Wireless Systems
- The WD wireless network operates on the ZigBee (IEEE802.15.4 compliant) 2.4 GHz frequency.
Although it runs on the same 2.4 GHz frequency as a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), the WD wireless network can
operate without connecting to a wireless LAN because it conforms to the IEEE802.15.4 standard. This also
applies to Bluetooth and other ZigBee wireless networks.
However, if the frequencies being used happen to overlap, the WD wireless network could experience
transmission delays and other communication issues.
- The wireless communication is encrypted. The encryption standard uses AES-CCM (Advanced Encryption
Standard-Counter with CBC-MAC), with an encryption key of 128 bits.
As an example, if the wireless LAN uses Channels 1, 5 and 6 (CH1, CH5, CH6); the WD can use Channels 15,
20, 25 and 26 (CH15, CH20, CH25, CH26). (Refer to the diagram above)
