manual frequency selection
The WiCOS conference system is factory preset to dynamic frequency
management. This function automatically detects occupied frequency
bands and switches to an unused frequency band, thus allowing for
interruption-free operation and parallel use of the WiCOS conference
system with other wireless conference systems, WLAN routers and other
radio networks.
The maximum number of access points you can use simultaneously varies
depending on the frequency range. If you want to use several conference
systems in parallel, we recommend careful frequency planning in order to
avoid mutual intermodulation between channels working in close
proximity.
̈ Have the system scan the available frequency ranges (see page 56).
̈ Set a fixed available frequency (see page 53).
̈ In the main navigation, click “RF Configuration”.
The “General RF settings” overview screen appears.
To set the frequency selection to automatic mode (dynamic frequency
management):
̈ From the “Frequency Selection” drop-down list, select “Automatically”.

The scan of the available frequency ranges can take up to 60
seconds. This time is needed if the 2.4 GHz frequencies are occupied
and the 5 GHz frequencies have to be scanned.
During scanning, conferencing is not possible.
