Wireless Channel Selection Mode
The wireless channels are selected by either of the two modes:
-
Automatic
-
Manual
Automatic Mode
The gateway selects the wireless channel automatically by analyzing the wireless load of each channel during the pairing phase. This mode is recommended only for sparse wireless architecture, which includes only one gateway in a radius of 20 meters. Refer to PowerTag System Architecture Ranking.
NOTE: The
pairing phase is performed frequently in the panel builder workshop.
In case of automatic mode selection, the wireless channel is defined
according to the wireless environment of the workshop. The wireless
environment can be different in end user site. Hence, the initial
channel that is automatically selected is not always the optimal channel
in terms of wireless performances.
Manual Mode
The value of wireless channel is filled by user during the commissioning phase. This value is obtained in the wireless channel assignment plan, which considers all the wireless environment around the PowerTag system.
