FGR2-PE Wirelss Data Transceiver
LUM0024AB Rev A
Frequency Key
Web Parameter:
Frequency Key in the Transmission Characteristics section of the Radio
Setup page.
Network Type:
Both
Default Setting:
5
Options:
Any number between 0 to 9, or any letter between A to E.
Description:
Modifies the hopping patterns of the transceiver. There are 15 choices
available for the Frequency Key setting representing 15 different pseudo-
random hop patterns. These hopping patterns minimize the interference with
other FreeWave transceivers operating in the area.
For example, if there were 10 pairs of FreeWave transceivers operating on
different networks in close proximity, setting a different Frequency Key value
for each pair reduces the chance that transceivers hop to the same frequency
at the same time. If two networks were to hop to the same frequency by
chance, the next hop would be to a different frequency for both networks.
Additional network separation can be gained by adjusting the Max and Min
Packet Size settings.
Frequency Zones
Note: Any Endpoint or Endpoint/Repeater takes its Frequency Zone settings from the
Gateway, regardless of network type. Therefore, Frequency Zones should only
be changed in the Gateway.
Web Parameter:
Zones in the Transmission Characteristics section of the Radio Setup page.
Network Type:
Both
Default Setting:
All selected
Options:
See description below.
Description:
Divides the available band (902 MHz to 928 MHz) into smaller bands—in this
case 16 smaller bands each consisting of 7 or 8 frequency channels. In Tool
Suite, click the Frequency Zones button on the Radio Setup tab to display the
16 zones available. In the configuration Web page, the zones are listed in the
Zones field on the Radio Setup page. The zones listed are in MHz.
Select the check box next to the zone to enable it. A blank, or deselected
check box, indicates the transceiver does not use that frequency.
The transceiver requires at least one zone active to operate. If all Frequency
Zones are deselected, the transceiver operates as if all zones were selected.
Network ID
Web Parameter:
Network ID in the MultiPoint Parameters section of the Radio Setup page.
Network Type:
MultiPoint
