For example, you can use Channel 1, Subchannel 1 for Network
A and Channel 1, Subchannel 2 for Network B. The two net-
works will not communicate with one another. They are, how-
ever, still sharing the 1.6 Mbps pipe since they are both using
Channel 1.
The Subchannels are designated 1 through 15 with 1 being the
default setting.
You need only set the Subchannel on a Master or Alternate
Master. Stations will ignore the parameter if it is set.

Master_Name

optional
This optional parameter of up to 11 characters specifies an
alphanumeric name to simplify the identification of each Master
in your network. You may not have spaces in the name.
You need only set the Master_Name on a Master or Alternate
Master. Stations will ignore the parameter if it is set.

Security ID

To further improve the security of a wireless subnetwork, each
unit requires the same Security ID to establish communication.
The Security ID is used on all RangeLAN2 products and all
Station_Types. This ID is encrypted and stored on the
RangeLAN2 7100 card itself, not in software. It cannot be
accessed but you may change it. If you do change it, however,
you will need to change the Security ID on all other radios with
which this one was communicating.
There are 1,048,576 unique choices for the Security ID.
Change the Security ID by using the CFG program. To set the
Security ID, refer to Appendix A.
