Select
M
ASTER
as the radio mode.
SSID:
Assign a network name (SSID) of up to 32 characters. The radio uses
this name in all network references. All radios in a network must have the
same SSID.
Channel Selection:
Choose the channel selection mode.
Network channels allow radios to avoid sharing a frequency with other
networks in the same location. For most applications, you should choose a
specific channel number. If you choose
A
UTO
,
the radio will scan available
channels, and will select a channel that appears to have little traffic.
Important:
The RLXIB-IHN radio is supplied with a dual-band antenna that supports both
frequency ranges. If you use a different antenna with the RLXIB-IHN radio, you must choose a
channel and frequency range supported by the antenna.
Security:
Encryption scrambles data so that only intended viewers can
decipher and understand it. Although "none" is an available encryption type,
ProSoft Technology strongly recommends encrypting all data sent and
received from every radio on your network with WPA2, to help prevent your
data from being intercepted and decoded.
WPA/WPA2 Key:
To use AES encryption on packets sent between the
radios, select
WPA2
-
P
ERSONAL
in the Encryption Type field. Next, in the
WPA phrase field, enter a pass phrase of between eight and 63 normal
keyboard characters. This phrase automatically generates an encryption key
of 128 hexadecimal characters. The default pass phrase is "passphrase"
(lower case, no quotes). For more information on encryption, see Security
settings.
Because you must assign the same Network SSID and WPA phrase to the
repeater radios later in this procedure, you should write down the settings.
Note:
Network SSID and WPA key are both case-sensitive.
