Note: If several independent MultiPoint networks are located in close proximity, it is very
important to include as much frequency and time diversity as possible through use of different
Frequency Key, Min and Max Packet Size, and Hop Table settings.
14. Click the MultiPoint Parameters tab.
15. In the Network ID field, set to any value between 1 and 4095.
FREEWAVE Recommends: Set the Network ID to the last three or four digits of the Master
radio's serial number if it is below 4095.
This value must be the same in all radios in the network.
Important!: A setting of 255 disables the Network ID feature and enables the Call Book.
16. Send the parameter settings by either:
l Sending all the settings for all parameters:
In the Configuration application, on the Network Title ribbon, click All.
l Sending only the changed parameters:
In the Configuration application, on the Network Title ribbon, click Quick.
Note: This option is only available if Read Radio is clicked and parameter settings are
NOT sent from a template to the radio.
