This screen displays the current use of eight frequency operating zones in the network. Zones can be toggled between Active and Skipped at APs by first keying in the letter of the zone to be changed, and then pressing SPACE to toggle between the two options for each zone. The screen is read-only at Remote radios, and Remotes must be synchronized to the AP to display valid status.

Skipping zones is one way of dealing with constant interference on one or more frequencies. See “A Word About Radio Interference” for more interference-combatting techniques.

When you have made the desired changes to the Skip Zones Menu, select Commit Changes to implement the new settings. These changes are forwarded to all radios in the network through the AP beacon signal.

In the U.S.A., up to four zones may be skipped for 900 MHz systems, and a maximum of three skipped for 2.4 GHz systems, per FCC regulations. The skip function may be disabled in some radios, due to regulatory requirements in some countries.
