5.3 Selecting channels
For a working installation a channel must be selected on each access point in the network.
There are 11 non overlapping ESL channels reserved for the communication with the labels.
Five of these channels do not interfere with typical Wi-Fi installations and should therefore be
favored. These are the ESL channels 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10 and they should be selected if there is a
Wi-Fi installation on the Wi-Fi channels 1, 6 and 11.

If there is a Wi-Fi installation operating at 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) or any other radio
frequency (RF) technology that uses the 2.4 GHz ISM band make sure to select the ESL
channels that are least overlapping with the existing installation. If there is no ESL channel
without any overlapping both the ESL and existing installation should still work but there might
be a reduced overall speed in both installations.

Warning
: Do not select the same channel on two access points within one area. This will cause
interferences and avoids labels from joining the network. The same channel may only be
selected on two access points if it can be guaranteed that every label is within the range of
only one of these access points.
