Subject: GINA Software Repeater Polling Active Path Reassignment
GINA 6000N-5 and 8000N-5 Series
The GINA 6000N-5 and 8000N-5 series radios can support up to three repeater links with R-3 version
firmware. To do this, the transmit path must be specified. Once this is done, the communication must travel
this route. Many times it is not possible to communicate with all remote units via multiple repeaters and it is
necessary to change the path when a specific remote must be addressed. If a sub-program can be included with
the client's polling software, then it is possible to simply re-route the path for the last connect.
An example of the sub-program could be as follows:
10
SEND CHR&(22): WAIT .2 S: SEND CHR&(22): WAIT .2S: SEND CHR&(22)
( ˆVˆVˆV puts the radio into the command mode )
20
SEND "TXP[N,N....]"
( Sets the path of the transmitter )
30
SEND "QUIT"
( Restores communications mode )
Now data can be sent as usual.
The radio configuration must be changed to:
CONM=1 ( Other settings are default )
