Network Settings

It is highly recommended that you change the transmit channel used to issue commands to your SimplySNAP installation. You can change the Channel and Network ID for your installation by entering the new information in the provided fields and clicking the Save Changes button. When the Save Changes button is clicked, all components in your installation will be updated to the new information over the next several minutes.

NOTE: The factory default channel (1) and Net ID (d110) should not be used for installations. Valid channels range from 1 - 12, and Network IDs can be any 4 digit combination of numbers and the letters a - f. (Excluding 0000 and ffff.)

Encryption and Enhanced CRC

Synapse recommends that you enable encryption within your SimplySNAP installation. Encryption is enabled by clicking the Encryption toggle to shift it to Enable. This will encrypt all data transmitted over the air and significantly reduce the possibility of outside interference.

Particularly large lighting installations can generate a lot of network traffic, and in some rare occasions this can have a negative impact on system response times. If you encounter a situation where lights aren't responding to commands, enabling Enhanced CRC may help. It can be enabled via the Enhanced CRC toggle switch

NOTE: By default, encryption and enhanced crc are off.

NOTE: If any configured light within your installation is not in communications with the site controller the system will not change channels or encrypt. This is to ensure that all lights are reconfigured, or none of them. If you've entered a "fake light" or sensor, you'll need to delete it before initiating a change.
