Note: The master is the "root" or top-level radio in a network. You must have at least one master
radio per network. For redundancy, you can assign more than one master to a network.
To configure a Master radio, make the following changes to the web
configuration form:
Radio Network Settings
 Radio Name: Enter a unique name for the radio.
 Select Master as the radio mode.
 Network SSID: Assign a network name (SSID) of up to 32 characters. The
radio uses this name in all network references. All radios in a network must
have the same SSID.
 Channel: Select a channel and frequency range for the network or accept the
default value. Network channels allow radios to avoid sharing a frequency
with other networks in the same location. The channel list indicates the
channel number as well as the frequency.
Important: The RLXIB-IHA radio is supplied with a dual-band antenna that supports both
frequency ranges. If you use a different antenna with the RLXIB-IHA radio, you must choose a
channel and frequency range supported by the antenna.
Security Settings
 Encryption Type: Encryption scrambles data so that only intended viewers
can decipher and understand it. Although "none" is an available encryption
type, ProSoft Technology strongly recommends encrypting all data sent and
received from every radio on your network, to help prevent your data from
being intercepted and decoded.
