Configure the DIP Switches
In any radio network, there is one controller (master) radio and there can be many peripheral (slave) radios. Before changing the DIP switch
positions, disconnect the power. Any changes made to the DIP switches are not recognized until after power is cycled to the device.
For parameters not set using the DIP switches, use the configuration software to make configuration changes. For parameters set using the
DIP switches, the DIP switch positions override any changes made using the configuration software.

Suppress Controller Re-broadcast
—The factory default setting is OFF (not selected). When not selected, the controller device automatically
re-broadcasts radio messages coming in from radio devices back out to the radio network when the destination address is not known. This
affects peripheral and repeater messages coming to the controller that are unknown point-to-point messages and all broadcast-type
messages. This allows for peripheral devices to send messages to other peripheral devices within the wireless network. If all messages
originate from Ethernet devices connected to the controller radio or when a wireless network only has a controller and peripheral device
(one-to-one networks), this feature can be selected, suppressing re-broadcast messaging. In most cases, this switch will have minimal effect
on radio network performance.
If the
R70ER
is in the locked position, the arrow on the cover is above the notch on the base. Rotate the cover counterclockwise so
that the notches are aligned together.
