system avoid interference from Wi-Fi devices using the spectrum and offers

more security from eavesdropping, if this is a consideration.

The system can also be set to use a fixed frequency.

Usually only the first 14 channels are used for Wi-Fi systems and setting to use

a single fixed frequency in channels 15 or 16 could prove to be more robust

where there is heavy Wi-Fi usage. Set to ‘On’ (frequency hopping enabled) or

‘Off’ if not required. By default the hub is configured to the fixed frequency

option (’Off’).

By selecting ‘On’ and submitting, the following screen will be shown. This

allows you to select which channels to use to frequency hop with. This allows

that any local Wi-Fi operating channels can be de-selected and therefore

reducing the interference by using only clean channels to hop through.

Device auto-register

If device auto-register is set to ‘On’, any unknown device that is detected is

permitted to join the network provided that the device limits have not been

exceeded. These devices will be given default names. If the auto-register is

set to ‘Off’, devices need to be manually added to the database before they will

be recognised as on the system.

New devices are set to default to:

Default name

User group 1

Fixed device zone 1

Device mode 1
