Operation Mode Description
Point-to-Point
Slave (1)
This mode designates the radio as a Slave in Point-to-Point mode.
l The Slave communicates with any Master in its Call Book - either
directly or through a maximum of four Repeaters.
l When functioning as a Slave, the Entry to Call feature in the radio’s
Call Book is NOT operational.
l Set the Slave Security parameter to 1 to bypass the Call Book in
the Slave.
Note: For more information, see Slave Security on page 59.
Point–to-MultiPoint
Master (2)
This mode designates the radio as a Master in MultiPoint mode.
l This mode allows one Master radio to communicate simultaneously
with numerous Slaves and Repeaters.
l A Point-to-MultiPoint Master communicates only with other radios
designated as Point-to-MultiPoint Slaves or Point-to-MultiPoint
Repeaters.
Point-to-MultiPoint
Slave (3)
This mode designates the radio as a Slave in MultiPoint mode.
l This mode allows the Slave to communicate with a MultiPoint
Master.
l The Slave may communicate with its Master through one or more
Repeaters.
Point-to-Point Slave /
Repeater (4)
This mode designates the radio to act as either a Slave or Repeater,
depending on the instructions from the Master.
l The radio cannot act as both a Slave and a Repeater at the same
time.
l True Slave/Repeater functionality is only available in a MultiPoint
mode.
l Point-to-Point Slave/Repeaters have no security features.
l When a radio is designated a Point-to-Point Slave/Repeater, it
allows any Master to use it as a Repeater.
Note: Adding Repeaters to a network cuts the network
throughput by 50%.
