COMMUNICATIONS MENU
The Communications Menu is used to configure the radio modem in the 95/TX. There are two similar
menus, one for 900 MHz radios and another for 2.4 GHz radios.

NETWORK ID
- May be set from “A” through “Z” and assigns the pseudo-random radio frequency hopping
pattern and system identifier. A transmitter will not go In Range of or communicate with another
transmitter operating with a different Network Identifier. Different Network Identifiers can be used to
prevent radios in one network from listening to transmissions of another. Installations having more than
one Server network should also have different Network Identifiers for each network.
RF MODE
- Determines if the device is configured to transmit the network beacon server (“SERVER”) or
listen for the network beacon from another device (“CLIENT”). Only one device in any network should be
programmed as a server.
TX POWER
- Allows the user to adjust transmitter power levels if using a 900 MHz radio. Options are 10
milliwatts (mW), 200 mW, 400 mW and 1.0 Watt. Transmit power also affects the power level of the
beacon signal if the 95/TX is set as the ‘server’. Radios designed for 2.4 GHz are preset to 50 mW and
power level cannot be adjusted.
