Tip
If WEP encryption is used the Activator automatically determines the key type and length from
what you type. WEP 64 require 5 Ascii characters or 10 hex digits, respectively WEP 128
requires 13 Ascii characters or 26 hex digits.
2.3.3 Configuring Wi-Fi Channels in Use
It is recommended to only select the channels used in you network. Activating the unused channels
will only reduce the battery lifetime of the tag. By default, the Scan Interval is 60 seconds. You
may also use shorter interval, but it will drain faster the battery of the tag. Alternatively you can
use longer Scan Interval and enable Motion Sensor through the Ekahau RTLS Controller after
activation. This way the tag will scan only when it is in use and moving.
