transmitted to all radios within range that are also in binding mode. After a repeater/slave is bound, the repeater/slave radio accepts data
only from the master to which it is bound. The binding code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use the same
binding code.

Normally, all devices are bound together before they are physically installed. In a replace-
ment situation, the master device may not always be accessible. Using the manual binding
process eliminates the need to put the master device into binding mode and allows the wire-
less network to remain operational.
To manually enter a binding code:
1. Single click button 1 to advance to the *DVCFG menu.1.
2. Single click button 2 to enter the DVCFG menu.2. -BIND displays on the screen as the
first option under DVCFG.
3. Single click button 2 to display the binding code. Record this number if this is the bind-
ing code you are copying.3.
4. To change this binding code, use button 1 to increment the blinking digit. Use button 2
to advance, from left to 4. right, to the next digit.
5. When you are finished making changes, press and hold down button 2 to save your
changes. When the screen 5. reads SAVE, release button 2.

Conducting a Site Survey using Modbus Commands
When triggering a site survey from a Modbus master/host system, only the child radio is used to start the site survey. While the site
survey is running, you will not be able to communicate with the radio slave. To trigger a site survey using a Modbus master/host-control-
led system, follow these steps:
1. Write zeros (0) to the child radio's Site Survey Results registers: 46452 through 46455.
2. Write a one (1) to the child radio’s External Site Survey Control register: 46451
The site survey between the child radio and its parent radio begins. Unlike other site survey processes, this method of triggering a
site survey results in only 100 packets sent between the parent and child.
3. Wait about 10 seconds for the site survey to complete.
After the 100 packets are sent, the site survey shuts down automatically.
4. Read the child radio’s results registers.
Register 46452 contains the green signal strength results. Register 46453 contains the yellow signal strength results. Register 46454
contains the red signal strength results. Register 46455 contains the number of missed packets.
Using 10 to 30V dc to Power the MultiHop Radio and a Gateway
