The Operation Mode option designates the method FreeWave transceivers use to communicate with 
each other. FreeWave transceivers operate in a Master to Slave configuration. Before the transceivers 
can operate together, they must be set up to properly communicate.  

In a Point-to-Point configuration, Master or Slave Mode may be used on either end of the communication 
link without performance degradation. When setting up the transceiver, remember that a number of 
parameters are controlled by the settings in the Master. Therefore, deploying the Master on the 
communications end where it will be easier to access is advised, but not necessary. 

Note: Operation Modes not described below are not to be used in the FreeWave 760 MHz Data 
Transceiver. 

Point-to-Point 
Master (0) 

This mode designates the transceiver as the Master in Point-to-Point mode. The 
Master may call any or all Slaves designated in its Call Book.  

In Point-to-Point mode the Master determines the setting used for most of the 
radio transmission characteristics, regardless of the settings in the Slave. The 
settings not determined by the Master are: RF Xmit Power, Slave Security, Retry 
Time Out, and the Hop Table settings. 

A quick method of identifying a Master is to power the transceiver. Prior to 
establishing a communication link with a Slave, all three of the Master’s LEDs 
will be solid red.
