Set and Encrypt the SNAP Communications Channel
Leviton recommends you enable encryption within your NorthStar installation.
Encryption is enabled by clicking the
Encryption
toggle to shift it to
Enable
. This
will encrypt all data transmitted over the air and significantly reduce the possibility of
outside interference.
Particularly large lighting installations can generate a lot of network traffic, and in
some rare occasions this can have a negative impact on system response times.
If you encounter a situation where lights aren't responding to commands, enabling
Enhanced CRC
may help. It is enabled via the
Enhanced CRC
toggle switch
NOTE:
By default, encryption and enhanced crc are disabled.
NOTE:
If any configured light within your installation is not in communications with the
site controller the system will not change channels or encrypt. This is to ensure that
all lights are reconfigured, or none of them. If you've entered a "fake light" or sensor,
you'll need to delete it before initiating a change.
NorthStar uses a SNAP RF network for lighting control, and proper precautions
will help ensure reliable service. For maximum reliability and security, Leviton
recommends you change and encrypt the default SNAP channel and network ID.
To change the SNAP channel:
1. Log-in to the NorthStar user interface and click
Config - Network Settings
.
2.
Enter a new SNAP channel in the provided
Channel
field. Valid channels range
from 1-13.
NOTE:
For NorthStar installations near a strong Wi-Fi installation, Leviton
recommends that you use SNAP channel 4 or 9 to minimize interference on the
lighting network.
3.
Enter a new Network ID in the
Network ID
field. Network IDs is any combination
of numbers and the letters a - f. (Excluding 0000 and ffff.)
4.
Click
the
Enable
toggle under
Encryption
.
5.
Click
the
Enable
toggle under
Enhanced
CRC.
6.
Click
the
Save Changes
button to save your changes and exit.
When the Save Changes button is clicked, all components in your installation will be
updated to the new information over the next several minutes
NOTE:
The factory default channel (1) and Net ID (d110) should not be used for
installations. Valid channels range from 1 - 13, and Network IDs is any 4 digit
combination of numbers and the letters a - f. (Excluding 0000 and ffff.)
