At times, the Slave radios need to be forced to go through a specific MultiPoint Repeater.
In this scenario, the Slave radio's Call Book should contain only the serial number for that
Repeater as the entry on line 0.
3.5.3. Programming Point-to-MultiPoint Extended Call Book
In a MultiPoint network, Slave radios can be programmed to roam between Master radios and
Repeaters using the MultiPoint Extended Call Book function. Slave radios with Call Book, as
configured in this procedure, communicate with any radio whose serial number appears in any of
the three columns.
Procedure
1. Set the Network ID to 255.
2. In the Call Book, enter 999-9999 as the last entry in the first and second columns.
3. In the Call Book, set Entry to Call to All.
