Figure 8. PL/PL Repeating
RF/RF Repeater
You can define the Street Light Bridge module as an RF repeater to extend the
range of RF communications. If you set nciRepeatMode to 2, you block power line
communications, which can be useful if the Street Light Bridge module should
act as a repeater for a different Segment Controller than the one with which it
has power line communications.
Figure 9 shows an example for RF/RF repeating mode. The street lighting
network on the left side of the figure (shown in purple) is installed and running.
Then, install the street lighting network on the right side of the figure (shown in
blue). If SLB A and SLB B cannot establish RF communications, you can install
an RF/RF repeater (SLB X) between them. By defining SLB X as an RF/RF
repeater, it does not interfere with power line communications on its own power
line network (the purple network).

In normal mode, the Street Light Bridge module serves both power line and RF
channels according to the following rules:
