Setting Up the Wireless Beltpack System

Select the Wireless tab.

Wireless beltpack system settings

From the Wireless tab, you can set or view the following System and Station settings.

System

  • The administration pin for your wireless system, used by the beltpack to be able to access privileged functionality
  • System ID. This is used to differentiate this system's RF signals from those of other systems
  • Beltpack role list sorting:
    • Role number
    • Alphabetical

FreeSpeak Edge

  • The wireless region for your FreeSpeak Edge beltpacks. The region set here MUST match the hard-coded setting on your Edge transceiver or the system will not work. You will see an error flag in the Status page if the regions do not match. Please contact your Clear-Com representative if you have any difficulties with this.
  • Select from a list of 5 GHz channels that you can exclude and prevent transceivers from using

FreeSpeak II

  • AA Battery type. You can choose not to use the Li-ion batteries supplied with the beltpacks, in which case you must specify battery type here. Choose between:

    • Alkaline (AA) batteries (default setting)

    • NiMH batteries for use in settings where air pressure is an issue (for instance on an underwater site).

  • The OTA pin you need for over-the-air (OTA) registration of your FreeSpeak II beltpacks.
