4.2.4 Channel Number
The channel number is a means of assigning frequency that device uses it to transmit/receive data. Before
you setting the channel in 2.4GHz band, you had better to use the optimal channel function to detect the
environment’s radio signal and choose the best one for using.
` Optimal channel
When the device runs on 2.4GHz band, you can use the
“optimal channel” to figure out which channel is the best
one for using. Clicking on the button “Select the optimal
channel”, a popup screen will display the choices. After
enter this function, the WH-5000A detects the
environment’s radio signal at each channel and
show them at this screen. This action does not
select the channel for you but shows you what
will most probably be channel selected if you
leave the following dropdown menu at Yes.
` Auto
When channel number set up as Auto, the WH-5000A will select the optimal channel at boot up
` 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11b/g Mixed mode
There are 11 (13 for ETSI) channel numbers that may be assigned. Because the 802.11b signal bandwidth
is 22MHz, there are 3 non-overlapping channels for 802.11b at 2.4GHz ISM band.
To reduce the interference problem, you may be able to establish up to 3 wireless networks at the same
area. If you need establish 3 wireless networks, you may assign channel number 1 to the first wireless
network. Then the channel 6 will be better for second wireless networks and channel 11 will be the third one.
