operates in a similar way to a normal repeater except for the

fact it is linked back to the hub via the customer’s LAN. Each

SER is allocated its own channels to operate in its own area

and link with the other repeaters in its vicinity, because it is

linked back via the LAN it does not need to be able to reach

back to the hub via the radio path.

This helps to reduce long chains of repeaters across a larger site and means set

channels can be used in different areas of a large site. This helps to ensure a stable

radio network. Linking between buildings can be done using SERs via LAN where

before a ‘chain of repeaters’ would have been required (this helps by reducing the

overall device count on the system).

With complex network setups advice should always be sought from Multitone

Customer Services for assistance when planning this type of installation.

System settings – IP slave hub

This page sets the network interfaces for the slave hub and the browser

language.

Click ‘Configuration’ and select ‘System’.

Slave

The IP address, subnet mask and gateway should be set within the address

range of the network, to allow the hub to be accessed from the network. Once

the IP address is configured, then the slave hub can only be accessed using

that IP address, so a note should be made of any IP address that is set. If the

address of a hub is unknown it can be obtained from the front panel.
