rptmode Repeater mode 
This command enables or disables repeater mode. Please refer to chapter 4 for 
a detailed overview of the radio modem in repeater mode. 
Note that the repeater mode takes precedence over mode setting of ptpmode. 
Command format: 
rptmode [s] 
where: s = 
on  The radio modem acts as a network repeater for the current site 
off  Disables repeater mode 
all  The radio modem acts as a network repeater for all sites 
ptpmode Point-to-Point mode setting 
Please refer to chapter 4 for an overview of the ptpmode function. 
Command format: 
ptpmode [s] 
where: n = 
on  Sets the modem to acknowledged reliable point-to-point 
operation. This is the default operating mode that provides 
network layer functionality thus ensuring transparent error-free 
transfer of data between two points. 
off  Sets the modem to broadcast multidrop network mode. This mode 
of operation requires the use of intelligent host devices that 
perform network layer functions for data packet addressing, 
routing and error control. 
slave  Sets a remote modem to be a slave device in a point-to-multipoint 
configuration. A radio modem, set to this mode, is operationally 
identical to setting ptpmode to on. The only difference is that in 
this mode a remote slave radio modem cannot initiate a 
connection with another remote modem when it has data in its 
serial input buffer. 
When using acknowledged point-to-multipoint mode, each slave 
modem should be configured with ptpmode set to slave. The 
master modem will be set with ptpmode to ON. 
mmaster  Sets a master modem to multimaster network mode. This 
mode allows multiple remote modems to establish a connection 
and transfer data with a single master modem. 
When using multimaster mode, each slave modem should be 
configured with ptpmode set to ON. The master modem will be set 
with ptpmode to mmaster.
