Device Manager
Start the Device Manager by right-clicking the icon on the system tray
and selecting ”Device Configuration”.
The Device Manager uses the concept of “profiles.“ Profiles allow a
user to store specific settings for a particular situation or environment.
For example, a user may have an “Office” profile in which the node
operates in Wi-Fi mode and a "Home" profile for Multimedia mode.
Profiles will help the user manage the appropriate settings including
network IDs, WEP, and operating mode.
Profiles can be created, managed (for editing) and activated from the
Device Manager application by selecting the Profiles menu.
When creating a new profile from this menu, the software will ask the
user to select either a Wi-Fi based or a Multimedia-based profile.
The screen (at left) displays the creation of a new Multimedia profile.
Profile name, encryption settings, etc. can be set here. Settings that
are unique to a Multimedia profile include the “Auto” setting for the
channel selection and the “Channel Agility sensitivity” setting (both
unique to the Channel Agility feature). Another Multimedia-only setting
is the “Change to Master Node” option, which forces a particular node
to be the network coordinator. A complete overview of all parameters
is included at the end of this section.
The screen (at left) shows the WiFi profile “create” screen. The WiFi-
unique options that can be set on this screen are the Network and
Node type settings in addition to Data Rate and Power Management
settings.
Once two or more profiles are created, the user can switch between
these profiles using the Profiles menu in the main device manager
screen.
Previously created profiles can be edited, deleted, renamed and
copied in the Manage Profiles screen. The Copy command is useful in
creating multiple profiles that are similar without having to reset all
options manually.
