All endpoint radios in the network will have these same settings except for the Radio ID. The Radio ID setting
allows a transceiver to be designated an arbitrary, user-selectable, 4-digit number which identifies the transceiver
in diagnostics mode. When used in conjunction with PakBus data loggers, we recommend this setting be assigned
the PakBus address of the station. This is because the Radio ID appears in the Network Diagnostics application
within the FreeWave Tool Suite software, and it allows the user to associate a particular data logger with its
attached radio.
