Based on the physical and logical constraints listed here: Constraints in RMS wireless communication, please follow the guidelines when planning RMS wireless networks:
1.Assign to every gateway a dedicated Network ID. Meaning that every gateway and the device connected to it, are treated as a separate network. Because you can only assign one channel for one gateway, therefore there are maximum 60 devices in one network.
Important: If redundancy is required, then each gateway should have exactly the same wireless settings. All gateways are then summarized logically as one gateway. |
2.Plan the channels based on the location (e.g. one channel for each floor). If you have to reuse the channel, make sure it is geographically far away enough from the network with same channel.
3.Here is an overview of the various possibilities, when using 2 wireless loggers and 2 gateways:
