Master Node

As the default setting of the KX-HGC200, all the communications performed in a wireless network are controlled by the Master Node, that is automatically selected from wireless computers. When the Master Node is shut down, another wireless computer replaces it automatically, so there is no need to care about what node is the Master Node. However, it is possible to set a wireless computer as the Master Node manually. In that case, do not set more than two one computer as the Master Node.
