A network number is an 8-bit number that identifies the available networks on an ANT device. A network key is assigned to a network number using the Set Network Key (0x46) message, and any individual channels assigned to a network number will be using the associated 8-byte network key. You can assign multiple channels to the same network number, so a network key can be used in multiple channels without having to enter the key multiple times.
