6. Installation
6.1Before Installation
(1) What is the WD Wireless Network?
①About the WD Wireless Network
The WD wireless network operates on the IEEE802.15.4 (ZigBee) compliant 2.4 GHz frequency.
Although it runs on the same 2.4 GHz frequency as a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), because it conforms to IEEE802.15.4 the WD
wireless network can operate without connecting to a wireless LAN. However, if the frequencies used overlap, the WD
wireless network could experience transmission delays and other communication issues.
The wireless communication is encrypted. The encryption standard used is AES-CCM (Advanced Encryption
Standard-Counter with CBC-MAC), with an encryption key of 128 bits.
②About Selecting a Wireless Channel
The WD wireless network uses 16 wireless channels (CH11 to CH26).
Select a wireless channel to avoid conflict with the frequency band of the LAN's wireless channel in your installation
environment.
The relationship between frequency bands of channels on the WD wireless network and on the wireless LAN is as follows.

③Example Wireless Channel Selection
When the wireless LAN uses three channels (CH1, CH6, and CH11), select either CH15, CH20, CH25, or CH26.
In most cases selecting CH25 or CH26 will enable you to avoid the wireless LAN channels.
