Configuration via Web Interface
You can use the
Channel Blacklist
to disable selected channels. If there are other wireless
networks in the area where the WirelessHART network is located, you can make sure that
channels are not used by multiple networks at a time.

Power level of the radio transmitter of the WirelessHART
gateway, which should normally be set to 10 dBm. Observe
local restrictions for 2400 MHz equipment.

Bandwidth
Profile
This option allows you to increase network performance by
reducing the latency, which increases the energy
consumption and reduces battery life of the network
components. We recommend that you use the medium and
high performance profiles if latency reduction is more
important than battery life.
The network has to be reformed for the new bandwidth profile
to become active. To reform the network, choose
Reform
Network
in the
Additional Functions > Reset
menu.

Global
Advertising
Timeout
If
Global Advertising
is activated, the WirelessHART
gateway and the network components will send a series of
identification messages at a frequency higher than normal to
identify new wireless devices and to reduce the network join
time. The messages are sent until the
Global Advertising
Timeout
is reached.
Enter the timeout in minutes. The timeout may range from
1 ... 255 minutes.

Activate
Global
Advertising
If activated, the network manager sends advertising
messages to announce the network
’
s existence. When a
WirelessHART field device receives such an advertising
message, it tries to join the network.
Enabling
Global Advertising
increases energy consumption
of the network components. Therefore we recommend that
you use this features only if needed, for example if you expect
new devices to join the network. Note that you can activate
Global Advertising
without reforming the network.
