Point To Point requires a Tx Address

Enter Tx Address value as (0-9999): 20

The Tx address is the address of the other unit. The Tx address is 20 by default.

(D) Set Mode Point to Multipoint (Dialup)

In this mode the Master unit will act the same as a Hayes telephone line modem, and may be used to

dial out to any remote site. Repeaters can be used in this configuration and Slave devices can dial back

to the Master as per normal Hayes modem conventions. For more information, see Section 9, page

76.

To change the radio configuration to Point to Multipoint, press (D). This is the default configuration.

(R) Set unit as a Dialup Repeater

A repeater regenerates a signal and is used to extend the distance between end point radios, it can be

thought up as grabbing a parcel and passing it to someone else. Repeaters are in pairs (back to back)

with one configured as a Master and one as a Slave. They are interlinked (by connecting the Main Ports

of each) so that data can be transferred via their RS-232 ports. The Auxiliary I/O ports must also be

interconnected to provide pass-through. See Repeaters, page 74.

The Dialup Repeater mode also enables a number stripping mechanism to allow repeaters to be

chained in a network or connected to a PSTN modem. Each repeater Slave strips its own RX address

from the dialed number sequence and then dials the radio or PSTN modem connected to the main

port. See Repeaters on page 74.

The baud rates and other configuration issues are left to the users own discretion. Some parameters for

communication are automatically preset but may be overridden, e.g., Hayes echo off and sync mode.

To change the radio configuration to Dialup Repeater, press (R).

(F) Factory Defaults

Sets the radio modem back with factory defaults.
