Description
The SCALANCE W 788 uses a specific channel within the frequency band for
communication. You can either set this channel specifically or configure the
SCALANCE W 788 so that the channel is selected automatically. A specific chan-
nel must be set, for example, in the following situations:
● Communication suffers from interference from another device (for example mi-
crowaves) or another wireless network.
● Use of the redundancy function. In this case, two well spaced channels or two
different frequency bands must be selected.
● Use of WDS. In this case, two well spaced channels or two different frequency
bands must be selected.
