ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin 17
Selecting a PAN OFFSET for a Wireless Network
When selecting a PAN OFFSET for a wireless network, keep these points in mind:
• All devices within one wireless mesh network must be set to the same PAN
OFFSET.
• Select PAN OFFSETs that are unique for the site.
• Select PAN OFFSETs that result in unique MS/TP addresses for each ZFR1810
Coordinator on a trunk.
IMPORTANT: To avoid interference, assign a unique PAN OFFSET to each
wireless network in a building. Using a unique PAN OFFSET is particularly
important if you have PANs on adjacent floors of a building. Do not use the
same PAN OFFSET on multiple wireless networks in a building, even if the
PANs do not overlap.
