5.5 RF communications setup
5.5.1 RF
channel
This option is used to configure the channel (frequency) that will be used by the
SmartSight™ 1000 Units (Tx / Rx). A set of 11 channels are available.
Co-located systems should always be set on different channels unless two systems
are set-up to share a channel (refer to CHAPTER 4 for a more in-depth
explanation). It might be also necessary to change channel if interference is present
on one specific channel.
5.5.2 SSID
This option identifies a pair of Units (TX and RX) that belong to the same S1000
system. The SSID must be the same for both the TX and RX module. Co-located
systems must always be set on different SSID.
The SSID is represented by an ASCII string of 1 to 32 characters (numbers or
letters). Here are examples of valid SSID:

5.5.3 Bit
rate
Bit rates can be set to 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps or 11 Mbps where Mbps stands
for Mega bits per second. A high bit rate reduces the effective distance between two
functional Units. We recommend you use 2 Mbps for all system installations unless
the link is not reliable. If this is the case, use 1 Mbps to improve the link quality.
Using 1 Mbps will however slightly reduce the video frame rate. 5.5 and 11 Mbps
should never be used at this time, they are reserved for future applications.
5.5.4 WEP
Key
WEP (Wire Equivalent Privacy) encryption is a mechanism that provides protection
from eavesdropping using another S1000 system or a computer equipped with a
wireless 802.11b receiver.
The WEP key is used by the system to generate a unique encryption sequence.
The WEP key must be the same for the TX and RX for the system to communicate
together.
The WEP key is represented by an ASCII string of 5 characters. Note that the WEP
key is write only. This feature is to ensure privacy of the WEP key.
Here are examples of valid WEP key:
