802.15.4 wireless communication protocol that includes AES encryption to ensure secure links. The LumaWatt Pro Energy Manager is (typically) mounted in a wiring or electrical closet and can be on the IT network or a stand-alone network. The LumaWatt Pro Energy Manager’s intuitive graphical user interface can be accessed via a standard secured browser connection. -

System Overview The LumaWatt Pro Wireless Network is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM spectrum. The chief concern with deploying IEEE 802.15.4 networks is the potential impact on existing Wi-Fi deployments. Both Wi-Fi (802.11) and IEEE 802.15.4 have the IEEE 802 family of wireless standards in common and share the same radio spectrum. -

When implementing a VLAN you must ensure the mobile devices used to configure and manage the LumaWatt Pro system also have access to that VLAN. VLAN’s are not required for the LumaWatt Pro system to work, however they can be implemented on sites that have the IT support and require separation of networks for additional security.. -
Page 6: Coexisting With Wi-Fi
Since devices communicating on the same channel can cause interference, the devices need to be set on channels that do not overlap. If we overlay the most frequently used channels used by IEEE 802.15.4 (LumaWatt Pro) and IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) on the chart below, you can see there is no overlap. -
Page 7: Interference Tolerance
Interference Tolerance In addition to ensuring that there is no impact on Wi-Fi installations, the LumaWatt Pro wireless network must be tolerant of interference by other Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.15.4 networks. The selection of non-overlapping channels serves to avoid the potential problem. In addition, LumaWatt Pro is designed to be loss tolerant. -
