Location of the units

Communications are transmitted between the KX-HGC200s using

wireless radio waves at 11Mbps data speed. For maximum

performance, it is recommended that the KX-HGC200 be operated:

≥Metal or steel framework, such as refrigerators, can hinder radio

communications. Open areas offer better performance.

≥If the KX-HGC200 is located near a microwave oven which is in use,

communication may be interfered with. For maximum performance,

operate the KX-HGC200 away from microwave ovens.

≥It is recommended that the KX-HGC200s be located no closer than

about 1.6 ft. (50 cm) apart.

Away from electrical appliances

such as TVs or cordless

telephones.

Installation Overview

4 important parameters to create a wireless

network

A wireless network can be created using the 4 parameters below which

are programmed in the Flash-ROM of the KX-HGC200 or in a node*.

Normally, you would only program the Network Name because the other

parameters have been already set. However, for later customization, be

sure to read about the parameters below.

*Node: A device that is connected to the network and can communicate

with other network devices. In this Operating Instructions, we use

this word for the Broadband Networking Gateway or a computer.

Network Name

Name for a wireless network. For security, only the nodes that are

programmed with the same Network Name can communicate. It is

necessary to set a Network Name for all the KX-HGC200 during the

installation of the Network Manager software or on the Broadband

Networking Gateway administration web screen.

Network ID

The ID that is created from the Network Name. Actually, this ID is used for

maintaining a wireless network instead of the Network Name. However,

users do not need to care what Network ID is programmed to each node.

Node Name

Name of each node in your network (wireless or wired) for identiﬁcation.

The Node Name of the Broadband Networking Gateway is set on its

administration web screen. The Node Name of a computer is set in the

Identiﬁcation tab in the Network dialog box which can be accessed via the

Control Panel menu on your computer.

Channel Number

Number of the radio frequency channel on which a wireless network

communicates. To prevent the radio frequency interference with other

wireless products, the channels below can be selected depending on the

status of the wireless communications:

Channel 1 (2412 MHz)

Channel 6 (2437 MHz)–default setting of the KX-HGC200

Channel 11 (2462 MHz)

On each channel, data-transmission can be performed on a speed up to

11Mbps. Only the nodes that are programmed with the same channel

number can communicate.
