Network Join Mode
You can select the network join mode for wireless communication modules.
There are two types of network join modes: Fast join mode and V3-compatible mode.
The above two modes can be specified for wireless modules with firmware version v4.x or
more.
Fast join mode reduces the time for joining a network.
The minimum network join time of a wireless communication module is about 5 seconds.
V3-compatible mode provides connection compatibility with wireless devices with firmware
version v3.x and earlier. The minimum network join time of a wireless communication
module is about 30 seconds.
Set the same network join mode for all wireless devices in the same network.
When using a wireless device as a low-speed moving body, be sure to set the network join
mode to V3-compatible mode.
Note
• Set the same network join mode for all wireless devices in the same network. Otherwise,
devices will not be able to join the network.
• In the following situations, be sure to set the network join mode to V3-compatible mode.
1. When there are wireless devices with firmware version v3.x in the wireless network
2. When there are wireless devices used as low-speed moving bodies in the wireless network
If Network join mode is set to Fast join mode, Low-speed moving mode cannot be set to Yes.
