Multiple AirStation Groups

When multiple AirStations are used to communicate with the wireless LAN personal computers on the same floor, the baud rate may be reduced. This is because the AirStations are using the same frequency to commu- nicate simultaneously. If this happens, you can enable communications regardless of other LAN networks by making settings to use different frequencies (wireless channels) in each LAN network (i.e., grouping). Change the wireless channels and group the networks is done using the following procedure.

Setting Procedure

Using neighboring channels or other frequencies close to each other may result in mutual interference. To make sure that there is no interference, set each channel at least four channels apart. (Changing wireless channels may result in interference with other wireless equipment.)
