The Call Book is to be set as normal for Point to Point configurations.  Network ID (Menu 5, 
option 6) is recommended for Point to Multipoint networks.

to anything other than 0) 

… 
(A)   High Noise 

(B)   Delay (0-70) 

Used for range distance over 15 miles.  All 

 

 

Radios in network must have the same value.

Menu 5 (for Point to Multipoint) 

MULTIPOINT PARAMETERS 
(0)   Number Repeaters 

Set to "0" 

(if none) 

or "1" 

(if any)

 

… 
(A)   Slave/Repeater 

0

 

This function is not supported and therefore 

 

 

should not be used with Ethernet radios. 

 

* The new Option (B) Delay (0-70) has been created for the purpose of adjusting the timing of the 
radios when used at distances of over 15 miles. The value will increment by 1 for each 1.07 miles 
over 15 miles the longest link in the network accommodates.  Throughput is reduced slightly for 
each increment of the Delay value. The Data Rate setting must be set to a value of 2. 
 
NOTE:  The Delay Setting MUST be the same in ALL Radios in the network.
