HGW-BWH CONFIGURATION The project now runs in the safe control (however, only for 1 hour since it is not yet “set verified”). To permanently install your program, you must mark the download as verified. For this purpose, the application must run in the module. Next, proceed as follows: Page 40 17.05.2022...
Page 43
This process stops the active program. The application must therefore be restarted. After downloading, an existing connection to the HGW is lost. Restart the control and devices. Your project is now correctly loaded in the device and can now be used.
6.2 Important Guidelines for WLAN Security SIGMATEK recommends the use of WPA2 encryption. The longer the password that is selected, the more secure the connection. Passwords must have a length of at least 8 characters and a maximum of 63 characters.

CONFIGURATION HGW-BWH INFORMATION To optimally utilize the available frequency band, the WLAN channels and channel width must be selected correctly. For a WLAN with IEEE 802.11g or 802.11n, the channels are arranged according to the 5- or 6-interval rule to operate several access points next to each other optimally.
HGW-BWH CONFIGURATION 12.1.2.1 20 MHz bandwidth Adjustable channels in rsdbd.conf: 36,40,44,48,149,153,157,161,165 Example Configuration:channel_10 = 36bandwith_10 = 20 Terms of Use Channel 36-48: indoor use only and max. 200 mW(Channel 0 -11) Short Range Devices max. 25 mW 12.1.2.2 40 MHz bandwidth WLAN channels in the 40 MHz band are usually assigned the channel numbers in intervals of 8 (38, 46, 151, 159).
CONFIGURATION HGW-BWH INFORMATION These tables were created with the highest care. Legislative authorities may make regulatory changes at any time, whereby the terms of use may also change. In addition to the national standards and laws, observe special regional regulations.
