13. Set these parameters so they are identical on all radios in the network:
l Frequency Key
l Max Packet Size
l Min Packet Size

If several independent networks are located in close proximity, it becomes 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 parameter
settings.
14. Click the Call Book tab.
15. Enter the Slave serial number in the Master’s Call Book.
16. Enter the Master’s Serial number in the Slave’s Call Book, or disable the Slave Security

Note: For more information about setting up the Call Book see Using the Call Book in Point-
to-Point Networks (on page 93).
Shortly after both radios are plugged in, they should establish a link with each other and the
