Figure 3–2.
From the screen shown in Figure 3–2, you can load the default
configuration or a previously saved configuration. You can also edit the
following parameters:
1. Radio Network ID: Enter a number from 1–255 for the radio network.
The network ID enables slaves to identify and communicate only with
masters or repeaters within the same network.
2. Station Type
a. Master Station: Designate this instrument as the master that
maintains network timing synchronization and broadcasts data to
all radios in its subnet or cell.
b. Slave Station: Designate the instrument as a slave within the
network that responds to a network master or a repeater radio.
c. Repeater Station: Designate the instrument as a repeater within the
network. A repeater radio acts as a repeater by relaying data from
the master radio or from another repeater radio; it also acts as a
slave in a network. The repeater is used to increase coverage or
distance to route radio signals around natural or manmade
obstructions.
3. Station Name: Enter a name that enables you to easily identify the
installed location. You can enter a maximum of 23 characters.
