RedLab WLS-IFC User's Guide  

Installing the RedLab WLS-IFC 

 

 

If the Power LED turns off 

If the Power LED is lit but then turns off, the computer has lost communication with the RedLab WLS-IFC. 
Disconnect the USB cable from the computer and then reconnect it. This should restore communication, and the 
Power LED should remain 

on 

after the device is configured. 

Configuring the network parameters 

The following network parameter options are programmable with 

Insta

Cal. 

ƒ

 

Identifier

: Text that identifies the device (optional). 

ƒ

 

PAN (hex)

: The personal area network (PAN) ID assigned to the device.  

The PAN value is a number used to identify the remote device with which you want to communicate. The 
RedLab WLS-IFC can only communicate with a device whose PAN is set to the same value.  
Most users do not need to change the default value assigned to the device. However, you may want to 
assign a different PAN ID in the following situations: 

o

 

You have multiple WLS Series devices, and do not want to allow communication between all of them. 
Set the PAN ID to the same value on each device that you want to communicate. 

o

 

If other WLS Series devices are operating in the vicinity, you can avoid accidental changes to your 
device settings by changing the default PAN value. 

ƒ

 

CH

: The radio frequency (RF) channel number assigned to the device. 

The channel number is used to transmit and receive data over the wireless link. You may want to change 
the channel number in 

Insta

Cal when another WLS Series device is already transmitting on that channel, or 

when noise is present on the channel. 
The table below lists each available channel and its corresponding transmission frequency.
