1.10.3 COMMON CHARACTERISTICS
The networks described in this section share common characteristics:
1. The network speed (2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 b/s) must be the same for all stations in a network.
2. Transmission of online diagnostics may be enabled or disabled at any station or stations without affecting
their ability to communicate with other stations.
1.10.4 POINT-TO-POINT SYSTEM
A simple point-to-point connection is shown in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4 Point-to-Point System
In this system, the user's equipment (DTE) may be set up in either a peer-to-peer or a Master-Remote
configuration.
1.10.5 POINT-MULTIPOINT SYSTEM
Basic point-multipoint systems are shown in Figure 1-5:
Figure 1-5 Point-Multipoint System (Simplex or half-duplex)
If a half-duplex radio network is used (i.e. two frequencies with the master station transmitting and receiving
on the reverse pair from the remotes), the master station can be either full duplex or half-duplex.
