4 important parameters to create a wireless
network
A wireless network can be created using the 4 parameters below which
are programmed in the Flash-ROM of the KX-HGC200 or in a node*.
Normally, you would only program the Network Name because the other
parameters have been already set. However, for later customization, be
sure to read about the parameters below.
*Node: A device that is connected to the network and can communicate
with other network devices. In this Operating Instructions, we use
this word for the Broadband Networking Gateway or a computer.
Network Name
Name for a wireless network. For security, only the nodes that are
programmed with the same Network Name can communicate. It is
necessary to set a Network Name for all the KX-HGC200 during the
installation of the Network Manager software or on the Broadband
Networking Gateway administration web screen.
Network ID
The ID that is created from the Network Name. Actually, this ID is used for
maintaining a wireless network instead of the Network Name. However,
users do not need to care what Network ID is programmed to each node.
Node Name
Name of each node in your network (wireless or wired) for identification.
The Node Name of the Broadband Networking Gateway is set on its
administration web screen. The Node Name of a computer is set in the
Identification tab in the Network dialog box which can be accessed via the
Control Panel menu on your computer.
Channel Number
Number of the radio frequency channel on which a wireless network
communicates. To prevent the radio frequency interference with other
wireless products, the channels below can be selected depending on the
status of the wireless communications:
Channel 1 (2412 MHz)
Channel 6 (2437 MHz)–default setting of the KX-HGC200
Channel 11 (2462 MHz)
On each channel, data-transmission can be performed on a speed up to
11Mbps. Only the nodes that are programmed with the same channel
number can communicate.
