Outdoor RBS50Y settings

Hi

 

outdoor RBS50Y there are two settings that I cannot figure out.

 

1. INDOOR - OUTDOOR setting. What is the difference?

2. SYNCHRONIZE - activated/deactivated. (NOT related to add to add satellite to MESH system, it is in the web portal management, LED on/off + SYNCHRONIZE - activated/deactivate).

 

Everything works fine, just curios from a technical perspective.

 

Thx

Erik

    This sounds fascinating.  Would love to help but do not have an RBS50Y.  Could you please attach screen shots showing these options?  (They do not appear in the RBS50Y User Guide, so it a bit of a mystery.)

     

    Thanks

      Hi.

       

      Interesting. 

       

      Indoor / outdoor appears in app as well as web portal. App image included.

       

      Synchronize appears in web portal. In Swedish 🙂 (av=off, avaktiverad=deactivated). Web portal image included.

       

      RBS50Y is utomhus=outdoor and satellite #1 in table.

       

      Thx

      Erik

        Thank you for providing the screen captures.  This is a description, not a setting.  It can be changed to any combination of letters and numbers.  In the web version, clicking in that panel brings up a box where the user can change the information.

        For example, clicking in this area:

        Brings up this input box:

        Device Model and Device Name can be changed to anything you like.  There is similar feature in the Orbi 'app'
