Wire Replacement I/O (900 MHz): User Manual and Reference Guide
Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
Can I/O be used with a 1 Watt radio?
A:
The FGRIO-M functions as a standard 900 MHz 1 Watt serial radio with a 60 mile line-of-
sight range.
The FGRIO-S functions as an FGR Short Range radio with a 2 mile line-of-sight range.
The FGR2-IOS-C-U and FGR2-IOS-CE-U function as FGR2 radios with a 60 mile line-of-
sight range.
Q:
Can the I/O radios be repeated through our other radios to extend the range?
A:
From the I/O Slave to the I/O Master, you cannot use a Repeater. When the I/O Master is
integrated into a standard serial network, you can use Repeaters between the I/O Master
and the Serial Master as they already are in existing FreeWave networks. The I/O Master
cannot function as a Slave/Repeater.
Q:
Can the I/O Master operate as Slave/Repeater in the overall network?
A:
The IO Master currently does not have the capability to operate as a Slave/Repeater. It
does function as the Master to the I/O Slave, and as a MultiPoint Slave to the rest of the
network.
Q:
Can data be sent directly from the I/O Slave to the Master of the serial network?
A:
No. The wire replacement system functions as wire replacement only. The IO Slave's
serial ports are inactive and do not have the capability of transmitting data directly to the
Master of a serial network.
Q:
What timing issues does a wire replacement system introduce?
