You may want to set everyone on your network to the same
Domain. For larger wireless networks, use the Domain to estab-
lish roaming subnetworks throughout your building. For ex-
ample, the Engineering Department may use Domain 2 and the
Sales Department may use Domain 5. Then engineers can only
roam within the geographical area mapped out by RangeLAN2
7510/752x Access Points with a Domain setting of 2.
The Domain is a number between 0 and 15 with 0 as the default
setting.
Channel
default=1
Each Master can select one of 15 Channels to establish communi-
cations with Stations. Each Channel number sets a unique fre-
quency hopping sequence allowing for multiple subnetworks with
higher data rate transmission capability in the same air space.
You may think of the Channel as a pipe. In order to communi-
cate, radios must be on the same Channel and there must be one
(and only one) Master that provides the timing for that Channel.
There are 15 independent Channels designated 1 through 15, and
1 is the default setting. This means that there are 15 different
sequences of frequency hops. Each Channel is at a different
frequency at a different time. For networks with multiple Masters
(like in a roaming environment), set each Master to a different
channel for optimum performance.
You need only set the Channel on a Master or Alternate Master.
Stations will ignore the parameter if it is set.
Subchannel
default=1
The Subchannel is a software code that is appended to each radio
packet. It does not affect the frequency hopping sequence like a
