13. In the Mesh Pane type the Node ID (0 to 11)
14. Click the Apply button.
You‟ll see the Configuration dialog appear. The NETNode is now configured and ready to
form a part of a mesh.
3.3.1. About Enable Check Box
This simply turns on the transmitter when checked. The transmitter only sends when it has
data ready to move. For a unit to function in a mesh the transmitter must be enabled.
3.3.2. About Frequency
All the units in a mesh must be on the same frequency. Check that the Frequency is valid for
the operation of the unit – specific country regulations will determine the frequencies
available for operation.
3.3.3. About Channel Bandwidth
All units in a mesh must have the same bandwidth set. The options are 2.5, 3 and 3.5MHz.
As the bandwidth increases the bit-rate available in the Mesh increases in proportion to the
bandwidth. November 2010 units may have an additional 5MHz bandwidth mode.
3.3.4. About Mesh ID
The Mesh ID tells the unit which mesh it belongs to. All NETNodes on Mesh ID 122 for
example will communicate with each other.
This means you could set up another mesh with Mesh ID 125 for example on the same
frequency which would run independently of Mesh 122. However the Meshes will only work
reliably if the separation is sufficient to avoid NO interference. Operation of two mesh
systems on the same frequency should be avoided.
You can choose any numbers from 001 to 255 for your Mesh ID.
3.3.5. About Node ID
The Node ID gives the unit a unique ID within the mesh. You can have up to twelve
NETNodes in a mesh and they each must carry a unique Node ID.
You can choose any numbers from 0 to 11 for your Node ID.
A node may automatically reassign its‟ Node ID at power up if it finds a conflict with an
existing node.
