Proper design considerations need to be addressed prior to any installation of a
Viconics Wireless Gateway (VWG) and related wireless controllers.

1. To properly avoid network interference with 802.11 Wi-Fi devices in the 2.4GHz

spectrum range, Viconics recommends the use of 802.15.4 channels 25 and 26
only. 802.11 Wi-Fi transmissions overlap and may interfere with other channel
selection allowed by 802.15.4 ( Channels 11 to 24 )

2. Maximum distance between each node ( controller ) should be:


 Clear line of sight between 2 nodes should be under 100 feet ( 30 M )
