Connection

Wireless Network connections can be made using the touch-screen under Settings.

 

Non-Overlapping Channels

To achieve a smooth transition from one wireless access point (WAP) to the next, configure each WAP on a non-overlapping channel.

 

Transmitting Power

The WAPs may be configured to provide the wireless signal at different power transmission levels. Setting the WAP to the maximum power transmission will deliver the maximum coverage area.

 

Interference

If WAPs are co-located in the same environment, radio frequency interference may be generated. Too many WAPs transmitting on overlapping channels may degrade the wireless signal quality. Reduce the WAP transmission power by reducing the coverage area and limiting the overlap between adjacent WAPs.

 

Security Options

Each wireless network must be configured with security to prevent unauthorized access to the net-work. The ADU provides multiple features to configure and secure the wireless network. Domain membership is not supported, but all other current security configurations can be configured. WPA2/AES-PSK is preferred.
