About Grouping and ExtendedPanID
The WD system requires grouping each WD wireless network (one WDR with multiple connected WDT). You can define the
group by setting the
ExtendedPanID
property on the WDR and WDT to the same value. The ExtendedPanID consists of 16
single-byte, alphanumeric characters. Setup range: 0000
0000
0000
0000 to FFFF
FFFF
FFFF
FFFE.
The following are examples of how you can set the ExtendedPanID and wireless channels for devices in multiple groups.
If there are multiple channels available for selection, you should use separate wireless channels for each group. By
distributing groups over multiple channels, you can reduce the payload concentrated on each wireless channel.
CAUTION
Prohibited
◆
When there are multiple WDR in your system, do not use duplicate ExtendedPanID values. The
product may not operate properly.
Mandatory
◆
When the WDT ExtendedPanID is 0000
0000
0000
0000, it is grouped with WDR that have
ExtendedPanID set arbitrarily. In this scenario, because the grouped wireless network is unstable,
set any value other than 0000
0000
0000
0000 during configuration.
