    Host Name, DHPS and DNS Server The default host name for the ZW-REC is zwrec**** where **** are the last 4 digits of the MAC Address. See Figure 2 for the location of the MAC address. The ZW-REC can be accessed using its host name instead of its IP address. To use this feature DHCP must be with a Domain Name Server (DNS).
  • Page 22: Client Connection

    The Client Connection options configure how TCP connections are handled. Client connections allow external software to read data from the ZW-REC using the ZW-REC Serial Protocol detailed in the ZW- REC Serial Programming Guide. The default options work with the Omega Dashboard. If different software is used these setting may need to be changed.
  • Page 23: Radio

    5.4 Radio When the ZW-REC starts up it performs an energy scan to find a clear RF channel. This RF channel is displayed in the Radio Section. Due to network planning this channel may need to be changed. Select the desired channel here. If the RF Channel is changed all connected End Devices need to be reset. To prevent the ZW-REC from re-scanning when it is rebooted uncheck the Enable Energy Scan box.

    The ZW-REC transmits at a power of +9.5dBm. Certain End Devices are lower power than the ZW-REC so the received signal strength is higher at the End Device than it is at the ZW-REC. For these End Devices the Signal Strength indicator needs to be higher for reliable communications.
