6.1.2 About Grouping and ExtendedPanID

・The WD system requires grouping each WD wireless network (one WDR with multiple connected WDT). You
can define the group by setting the ExtendedPanID property on the WDR and WDT to the same value. The
ExtendedPanID consists of 16 single-byte, alphanumeric characters. Setup range: 0000 0000 0000 0000 to
FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE.
・You can use any combination of WDT-5E-Z2, WDT-6M-Z2, WDT-5LR-Z2, and WDT-6LR-Z2.
・The following illustrate how you can set the ExtendedPanID and wireless channels for devices in multiple groups.
WD Network
[WDT and WDR Common Settings]
・ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0001
・Wireless Channel: CH15
WD Network
[WDT and WDR Common Settings]
・ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0003
・Wireless Channel: CH26
WD Network
[WDT and WDR Common Settings]
・ExtendedPanID: 0000 0000 0000 0005
・Wireless Channel: CH20
・If there are multiple channels available for selection, you should use separate wireless channels for each group. By
distributing groups over multiple channels, you can reduce the load concentrated on a single wireless channel.
When there are multiple WDR in your system, do not use duplicate ExtendedPanID values. The product may not operate
properly.
When the WDT ExtendedPanID is 0000 0000 0000 0000, regardless of the ExtendedPanID setting all the WDR may
be grouped together. In this scenario, because the grouped wireless network is not stable, set any value other than
0000 0000 0000 0000 during configuration.
