RF NETWORK DETAILS
Network ID (network)
This parameter sets the network ID of this base station node and its remote / repeater stations in the
network. The entry is four hexadecimal chars (not case sensitive). The default setting is CAFE.
Network Radius
This parameter sets the maximum number of hops in this network e.g. if the Network Radius is set to 2, a
message from that node will only pass 2 hops before it is blocked. The default setting is 1.
All stations in the network should be set to the same value.
Network Repeaters Proximity
This parameter is set in base stations and repeater stations to indicate the proximity of repeaters in the
network. It has no affect if the Network Radius is set to 1.
The default setting is Separated Coverage.
Option
Function
No Repeater
Use when there are no repeaters in the network.
Single Repeater Only
Use when there is only one repeater in the network.
Overlapping Coverage
Use for multiple one hop repeaters where the remote station can
see more than one repeater or repeaters can see each other.
The communication protocol is slower because each repeater is
addressed individually and in-turn.
Separated Coverage
Use for multiple one hop repeaters where the remote station can
only see one repeater and the repeaters can’t see each other.
This option provides better network downlink performance than
the Overlapping Coverage option.
However, if the repeaters can see each other, the resultant
collisions will cause corruptions and dramatically reduce network
downlink performance.
Inband Management
This parameter sets the Inband Management option.
If the Inband Management option is enabled, SuperVisor operating on a base station can also manage all
the remote / repeater stations in the network.
Inband Management Timeout (sec)
This parameter sets the Inband Management timeout period. This determines the time the base station
waits for a response from a Remote or repeater station before aborting the Inband Management request.
The default setting is 10 seconds.
