changing the parameter to lower values increases the time delay.
changing the parameter to lower values increases the time delay.
When properly calibrated the CD line of a Slave radio will output a pulse that goes high for about 2mS in
synch with the 1 PPS pulse on the Master radio. The output on the Slave will occur within 20
microseconds of the input to the Master.
synch with the 1 PPS pulse on the Master radio. The output on the Slave will occur within 20
microseconds of the input to the Master.
Note: When 1 PPS is enabled, the Master must have a 1 PPS pulse on its DTR pin, otherwise the RF
network will not function.

EPEATER
The Slave/Repeater mode allows a transceiver in a MultiPoint network to switch between Slave and Repeater
functions. When in this mode, a transceiver will repeat any packets sent across the network as well as utilize
the RS232 port. Thus, where one Repeater and one Slave may be required in another vendor’s network,
FreeWave networks require only one transceiver. (This option is not available in Ethernet mode.)

FreeWave networks require only one transceiver. (This option is not available in Ethernet mode.)
Note: To operate a transceiver as a MultiPoint Slave/Repeater, the operation mode must be set to (7)
MultiPoint Repeater and Slave/Repeater set to 1 in the MultiPoint Parameters menu.

IAGNOSTICS
This option provides diagnostics data to be viewed at the Master in parallel with application data. The
diagnostic program MUST be run from the Master transceiver. Diagnostics requires the following:
diagnostic program MUST be run from the Master transceiver. Diagnostics requires the following:
1.
The Number Repeaters set to 1 and Diagnostics set to (1 to 128) in the Master.
2.
A second computer or serial connection to run the diagnostics software.
3.
A diagnostics cable. (Available from FreeWave Technologies.)
4.
Diagnostics software. (Available on the User Manual and System Tools CD.)

ID
The Subnet ID function only works in MultiPoint Networks utilizing the Network ID option. In a MultiPoint
Network, a Slave or Repeater will connect with the first Repeater or Master that it hears with the same
Network ID. However, where communications need to be forced to follow a specific path the Subnet ID is
quite useful. Subnet ID is particularly helpful to force two Repeaters in the same network to operate in series
rather than in parallel, or if desired, to force Slaves to communicate to a specific Repeater for load balancing
purposes. Two components exist with regard to the Subnet ID:

1.
Rcv Subnet ID. This setting identifies which transceiver a Repeater or Slave will listen to.
2.
Xmt Subnet ID. This setting identifies the ID on which this device transmits, and in turn which
devices will listen to it. The Xmt Subnet ID parameter is relevant for MultiPoint Masters and
Repeaters only.

Repeaters only.
The default (disable) setting for both Rcv and Xmt is F.
Notes: A Master with firmware before x.40 will always transmit and receive on 0. With firmware of 2.40
and greater (900MHz) or 3.40 and greater (2.4GHz) the Master may be set to use alternate
Subnet ID values. Changing these settings on the Master is not recommended under normal
circumstances.

In some MultiPoint Networks, the FreqKey will be at the same setting for all transceivers. In other
networks, where parallel Repeaters are introduced, the FreqKey value will need to change. See
FreqKey and Repeater Frequency sections earlier in this manual for more information.
