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 M8. The ATX command is used to
program the Repeater Table. The Repeater Table may have up to 4 entries.
For example, M8S 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.
