Master Parameters

Pre-Shared Key: Enter the cryptographic key to be shared between the Master and

Slave when AES encryption is enabled. The key must be a maximum of 16 bytes, and

include only alphanumeric characters (a-z, 0-9). This field is used only when AES is

enabled.

Notes:

1. The Master and Slave RDL-2000 units must have identical encryption settings or the

system will not establish a wireless link.

2. The default key is the text "SharedKey".

Enable AES: Check this box to enable AES encryption.

Important: The Master and Slave RDL-2000 units must have identical encryption

settings or the system will not establish a wireless link.

Enable IIS: Check this box to enable IIS (Intelligent Interference Sensing). The IIS

(Intelligent Interference Sensing) feature monitors the RF channel and automatically

adjusts the Rx threshold to be above the detected noise level. This increases RF

robustness by eliminating false receptions caused by interference.

Figure 19: Link Mgr - IIS (Intelligent Interference Sensing) Function

Note: The IIS feature is permanently enabled in the current version of software.

Enable ACS: (Master only) Check this box to enable the ACS (Automatic Channel

Selection) feature.

When ACS is enabled on power-up, the RDL-2000 performs a spectrum sweep of the

selected band and chooses a channel based on the lowest measured interference. The

spectrum sweep requires approximately one second. The RDL-2000 then reboots and

begins transmitting using the selected channel.

Perform ACS: (Master only) Click this button to cause the RDL-2000 to immediately

perform a spectrum sweep of the selected band and choose a channel based on the

lowest measured interference. The spectrum sweep requires approximately one second.

The RDL-2000 then reboots and begins transmitting using the selected channel.

Note: Activating the Perform ACS function disrupts all data traffic on the wireless link.

Vlan ID: Enter the VLAN ID (0-4095) for management traffic. Field is valid only when

Enable Security (VLAN) is enabled ( ). See Enable Security (VLAN) in section 3.5:

Advanced Screen on page 24.

Channel Parameters

DL Rate: (Master only) Select the DL modulation/coding for the wireless link, The RDL-

2000 will transmit using only using the selected modulation/coding. Identical settings

must be used on the Master and Slave. When Adaptive Modulation is enabled, this

setting is ignored
