Example 2: Subnet and Communication Required through Repeaters
This example shows:
l Repeater 2 must communicate through Repeater 1.
l The Slave connected to Repeater 1 must route through Repeater 1.
l The other two Slave radios must route through Slave/Repeater 2.

Radio Rx Tx Additional Information
Master 0 0 The default settings (F, F) actually use 0, 0.
The Rx Subnet on the Master has no effect on the network.
Slave 1 0 F Rx Subnet = 0 forces the radio to link only to the Master.
The Slave does not transmit to any device except the Master,
so its Tx Subnet is F.
Repeater 1 0 1 Rx Subnet = 0 forces the radio to link only to the Master.
Transmits on subnet 1.
Slave 2 0 F Rx Subnet = 0 forces the radio to link only to the Master.
Slave/Repeater 2 1 2 Rx Subnet = 1 forces the radio to link only to Repeater 1.
It transmits on Tx Subnet 2 to Slave 4 and 5.
Slave 3 1 F Rx Subnet = 1 forces the radio to link only to Repeater 1.
The Slave does not transmit to any device except Repeater
1, so its Tx Subnet is F.
Slave 4 2 F Rx Subnet = 2 forces the radio to link with Slave/Repeater 2.
Slave 5 2 F Rx Subnet = 2 forces the radio to link with Slave/Repeater 2.
