RTS to CTS
Setting Description
l If DTR Connect is enabled and set to 1, RTS to CTS mode takes precedence
over the functionality of the CTS line on the Slave relating to the DTR
Connect feature.
2.4.14. Slave Security
Note: The Slave Security parameter has no effect in Point-to-MultiPoint networks where the
Network ID is used.
Slave Security
Setting Description
Default Setting (0) On
Options (0) On
(1) Off
Terminal Menu (3) Edit TransmissionCharacteristics > (6) Slave Security
Description: l Slave Security allows Slave radios to accept transmissions from a Master not
included in the Call Book.
l The default setting of 0 (On) means only Masters in the Slave radio's Call
Book may link to that Slave.
l The Slave Security parameter may be disabled (setting of 1) allowing any
Master to call the Slave.
l The Slave Security parameter must be set to 1 when the unit is operating in
Mode 6, Slave/Master Switchable or a Point-to-Point network where the Slave
may need to accept calls from more than 10 different Masters.
l See Application Note #5476: Mode 6 for additional information.
l When the Slave Security parameter is set to 1, the radio accepts calls from
any other radio.
l Additional network security measures may be taken to prevent unauthorized
access (e.g.,changing default settings for Frequency Key, Hop Table, or
Frequency Zones).
