Setting the Client / Station frequency:
The client obtains its frequency from its connected host/AP. To ensure that a particular
client connects to a certain host/AP, the SSID, Country Code and Channel Width setting
need to be the same as the host/AP unit to which the unit wishes to connect to.
Interference Analyzer: The ‘Interference Analyzer’ facility is located on the host/AP
and can be used to determine whether there are other pieces of equipment in the vicinity
using the same frequencies as the Mesh2HT units are using. By carrying out an
interference analyzer survey, congested channels can be avoided when selecting
channels manually.
Note: Surveys to detect interference should only be conducted when directly connected
to the host/AP, if connected to the host/AP via the client over a wireless link, the link will
be disconnected.
To carry out a frequency site survey select . The Interference
Analyzer is only found on the host/AP and is only available if a channel width of either
20M or 20/40MHz is selected.
Example: In the example, the 5GHz frequency band is shown with green color bars to
indicate the other APs that are in the environment. As the color bar becomes larger it
changes from green to red to indicate the stronger RSSI of other equipment and greater
chance for interference if operating on that channel. You can hover your mouse over to
see the other APs using those frequencies.
