documentation for instru ctions on how to launch applications.

From the Windows Desktop, click on the Start button.

Configuring the TX mode and Channel Selection 

Using the HotView software the mesh administrator is provided a selection of operating modes (e.g., 2.4 
GHz DSSS, 2.4 GHZ OFDM, 5.2 GHz OFDM, 5.3 GHz OFDM, 5.8 GHz OFDM) along with a selection 
of channels for that mode.  In this way the administrator is only able to operate the mesh in full compliance 
with approved certified frequencies.
