GDA-1600 16-Channel Controller
Instruction 5700-9001

connects it to the RS-485
slave
port (Figure 8.1). It is important to remember RADIO
SETUP functions may only be performed with the radio connected to the
master
port.
Each transceiver on a wireless network must have its
RADIO SETUP
menus configured to
share the same hopping channel (0-32) and System ID (0-255) to communicate. All
Bacharach wireless transceivers utilize a Server-Client network where Clients
synchronize their hopping to the Server. The Server transmits a beacon at the beginning
of every hop (50 times per second). Client transceivers listen for this beacon and upon
hearing it will indicate
InRange
with the LED on the radio modem board and
synchronize their hopping with the Server. Each network should consist of only one
Server. There should never be two servers on the same RF Channel number in the same
coverage area as the interference between the two servers will severely hinder RF
communications. The Server must be in a powered location (as opposed to a battery
powered GDX-350 RF utilizing a “sleep” mode) and Servers typically should be centrally
located since all Clients must receive the beacon in order to communicate.
8.2 Radio Setup Menu
Radio modules must be connected to the
master
port for
RADIO SETUP
. Pressing the
EDIT key with the arrow pointing to the
Radio Setup
menu brings the
RADIO
CONFIG
menus to the screen (right side of Figure 8.2).

Description
Hop Channel
Hop Channel
may be set from 1-32 using the keypad
System ID
and assigns the pseudo-random
radio frequency hopping pattern. A transceiver will not go
InRange
of or communicate
with a transceiver operating on a different Hop Channel.
System ID
may be set from 1-255 using the keypad
Mode
and is similar to a password
character or network number and makes network eavesdropping more difficult. A
transceiver will not go in range of or communicate with a transceiver operating on a
different System ID.
Mode
may be set for
CLIENT
or
SERVER.
For a single GDA-1600 communicating to up
to sixteen GDX-350 transceivers, Mode must = Server. To prolong battery life, GDX-
350s sleep most of the time and therefore may not be Servers. If an application calls
for multiple GDA-1600 locations, only one may be set for Server and all others must be
Clients. This single Server transmits a beacon which all of the network’s Clients
synchronize to.
ONLY ONE SERVER PER NETWORK.
