Option C – Configure the Communication Channel (G1 Gateway ONLY)
Menu option C is for configuring the Communication Channel. Four communication channels are available from which to
choose use. The screen capture below highlights the entries needed to change the communication channel.
The system will warn you about changing channels, and you must select if you want to continue. If you press Y for yes, at the next
prompt, press 1-4 to designate your channel preference, and the channel will be immediately changed. If you press N or press any
other key, configuration will be cancelled and you will return to the main menu options. Wireless communication for the system is
based on 802.15.4 radios (also used for ZigBee devices). The four channels represent the 802.15.4 channels as follows:
System Channel
1
2
3
4
Channels 25 and 26 are outside the range of Wi-Fi channels in North America and will not interfere with or be interfered by Wi-Fi
networks. The channel width for 802.15.4 is 2 MHz per channel.
Note - Selecting the Communication Channel should be done before any sensors are configured by the gateway as the gateway
assigns the Communication Channel to the sensors through the USB port.
