The central section of the left pane of the Devices Configuration page contains information about the network describing its operation.

Pan ID

Each network contains a unique network identifier that allows devices at the radio level to distinguish between messages on its network from those transmitted by other networks in the area. The Pan ID can be changed, although it is not common.

Port Speed

The configured serial port data rate for gateways in the network. This is an informational field and can not be changed by the user. The serial port data rate is auto-detected by the whereBox.

OTA Enabled (S500 only)

By default OTA (over the air) firmware updates are enabled. This allows the user to update the firmware in devices on the network without having to retrieve individual devices and manually update the firmware in each of them. Rarely OTA may be disabled for extremely power sensitive networks.

OTA Legacy Enable (S500 only)

In the even that some devices in the network are at a firmware version before 6.1.2, this option should be ticked to enable the devices with older firmware to be updated. Once all devices have been updated, the option can be disabled and the network reprogrammed.

Frame settings (S500 only)

This technical data is presented for information only.

Network Load

This information box is the estimated network capacity. Anything below 100% is flagged blue and is suitable for deployment Values above 100% are likely to lead to erroneous operation with high packet loss. The user should adjust system parameters or individual device modes until the load is below 100%.
