In general, Access Points that share the same Channel should have different
Subchannels and be installed as far away from each other as possible, based on the
results of your site survey of the facility.
Master Name
The optional Master Name parameter specifies an alphanumeric name to simplify the
identification of each Access Point when using a mobile client's radio diagnostic tools.
The Master Name may be up to 11 characters long. The default Master Name is
"MASTER."
Security ID
To further improve the security of a radio subnetwork, each OpenAir device requires
the same Security ID to establish communication.
The Security ID is used on all OpenAir products. This ID is encrypted and stored in the
Harmony OpenAir Access Point itself, not in software. It cannot be accessed but you
can change it. If you do change it, however, you will need to change the Security ID
on all other radios with which this one was communicating.
The Security ID parameter can be up to 20 characters and is an empty string by default.
It is case sensitive.
MAC Optimize
The MAC Optimize parameter can help improve throughput for small networks.
If you have zero or one mobile client communicating with an Access Point, set this
parameter to Very Light. If you have between two and eight mobile clients communi-
cating with an Access Point at the same time, set this parameter to Light. (You can
have more than eight nodes synchronized to an Access Point but between two and eight
communicating at the same time for the Light parameter setting.) In networks with
more than eight concurrent mobile users, set the parameter to Normal.
