two networks have the same number by accident, the node devices may connect to a wrong network
and the data is not delivered to the desired gateway.
Each device has a unique Ovanet address. This is set at the factory and there is no need to change it.
The address is visible in the back label of the device.
The devices automatically change their radio frequency seeking suitable frequencies in the crowded 2.4
GHz band. However, at power-up the devices need to find other devices in the network, for which a
common radio frequency is needed. All the devices of the network need to be set to the same radio
channel between 1-28. Usually the default channel 1 is ok.
There is no need to configure any other radio network settings. The network searches automatically for
the best connections and updates them if needed.
The open space range between the nodes is at most about 200 meters and indoor range is some tens of
meters depending on the construction materials. Placing the devices near a metal surface will decrease
the range.
