These include identifying interference and taking corrective steps such 
as skipping some radio frequencies from the hopping pattern, 
increasing the gain of the Remote unit’s antenna system, relocating the 
Remote’s antenna, or installing a repeater system.

Blocking Out Zones

The transceiver uses channels in the 902–928 MHz spectrum, with 
selectable hopping from 1 to 80 channels. This selection is available 
only on ESS-II or specially provisioned ESS units using the 

Channel 

Config(uration)

 Submenu.

NOTE:

When using 

CHANNELS

 mode, all radios (AP and Remotes) 

must be set to use the same channels in order to establish a 
link. If this is not done, the radios will not connect.

NOTE:

The ESS-II operates only in the 

CHANNELS

 mode, with select-

able hopping from 1 to 75 channels. 

Usage key for Channel Configuration Menu:

n

 (no) = Radio channel is not used

y

 (yes) = Radio channel is used

NA

 (not available) = Radio channel is not available

Other selections on Channel Configuration Menu:

Clear All

—This command clears all entries in the Channel Con-

fig Menu, resetting the available channels to “no usage.” Chan-
nels that are not available for use will appear with a notation of 
or 

NA

. These channels are not available because of pre-existing 

conditions, and are not user-configurable.

Enter Channels

—This allows selection of the channels used for 

frequency hopping operation. 

The selection of particular chan-

nels will result in an indication of 

y

. Be aware that these chan-

nels do not become active until the 

Commit Changes

 selection is 

invoked.

Commit Changes

This re-boots the radio and loads the active 

channels into the frequency list for frequency hopping opera-
tion.
