Store-and-forward repeating is manually enabled with the ATXR command.
ATXR
1
enables repeating.
ATXR 0
disables it. Unlike the
REPEAT
x command which
configures the repeater table to repeat all packets, the
ATXR 1
enables the feature
but does not configure the Repeater Table.
The
Repeat Source
,
Repeat Source Mask
, and the
Repeat Destination
are
programmed into a Repeater Table in the M6. The ATX command is used to
program the Repeater Table. The Repeater Table may have up to 4 entries.
For example, M6
B
in the above example will have two entries in its Repeater
Table. The command to set the two entries is:
ATX1 1020 FFFF 1000 FFFF
ARX2 1000 FFFF 1000 FFFF
The first command above sets the Repeat Source to 1020 and the Repeat
Destination to 1000, both with a Mask of FFFF. The FFFF mask means all digits of
the source and destination are used to determine if the transmission should be
repeated. All packets from units with MYID 1020 (
C
) sent to 1000 will be repeated
by this unit. It will not repeat messages from
D, E, F, G,
or
H
because their Unit
IDs are not in the
Repeat Source
repeater table.
The second command above sets the Repeat Source to 1000 and the Repeat
Destination to 1000, both with a Mask of FFFF. The FFFF mask means all digits of
the source and destination are used to determine if the transmission should be
repeated. All packets from units with MYID 1000 (
A
)sent 1000 will be repeated by
this unit. In other words, all transmissions from
A
will be repeated by
B
.
To view the Repeater Table, use the
ATX
command, with no parameter. To view a
single entry in the table, use the
ATXn
, where n=1, 2, 3, or 4.
