The
shared passphrase
is a secret that must be shared only among the
Videomesh forming a single network. Every Videomesh that does not have the
right passphrase will not be able to communicate with the routers of your
network. Different passphrase can also be used to create separate wireless
networks in same area and sharing the same frequencies.
The second setting is the country where you want to operate the Videomesh.
Different countries have different telecommunications regulations and the
country setting allows you to operate the Videomesh complying with different
national regulations.
The available frequencies and other settings related to the radios operation will
vary based on the selected country.
Picking the wrong country/regulatory domain setting might make the Videomesh
operations illegal in your country.
Pick the country where you want to operate the Videomesh and save the settings
before deciding which frequencies to use.
The last setting you can change regards the frequency band used by the two
radios. Every Videomesh 2200 Series is equipped with two radios, one operating
in the 2.4 GHz range and one operating in the 5 GHz range. Every radio
operates using a 20 MHz band. You change the frequency band in order to
minimize the interference with other wireless networks operating in the same
area.
The frequencies you can select are the carrier frequencies. Not all of them are
non-interfering because the frequency band used is 20 MHz wide and centered
at the carrier frequency.
