The EtherWave-WEB is designed to automatically select and continuously optimize the performance of its radio channel. The radio channel is
monitored to ensure it is providing low error rates necessary for successful radio transmission. In the event that the error rate rises, the Ether-
Wave-WEB will autonomously change to a new channel. There are 12 non-overlapping channels.
To restrict the operation of the EtherWave-WEB to a subset of the 902-928 band, the user may activate a manual selection mode that allows
the radio to automatically choose the best channel
within a grouped subset
of the 12 available channels. This is enabled by the 8 position DIP
switch on the master unit. These settings allow the EtherWave-WEB to operate on the optimal channel in one of three subsets, LOW 4, MID 4, or
HIGH 4. The DIP switch settings are:
Or, the user may wish to select
a specific channel
. This can be done by setting DIP switches 5-8 as shown in the table below (turn DIP 2 Off / 3
Off).
In this mode, the EtherWave-WEB can perform a site survey. With this mode activated, the radios send and receive at 100 percent capacity by
transceiving self-generated simulated data. The installer can monitor the Link Quality display to assess channel quality while optimizing anten-
nae orientation. The installer can manually select each channel to evaluate performance and identify the best channels for operation. By identi-
fying channels with poor performance it is possible to identify possible interferers and use “manual frequency selection mode” to avoid portions
of the band or select a fixed operating frequency.
note:
Ethernet traffic does not get transported while the radios are in this mode.
In this mode, the display LEDs can be turned off for low power applications (solar).
