Spread Spectrum Wireless Data Transceiver User Manual
Call Book
The Call Book offers both security and flexibility. The Call Book is a method of determining how
FreeWave transceivers will communicate with each other. Using the Call Book feature encodes a
transceiver's serial number in Call Books of the other transceivers with which it will be communicating.
The instructions provided in this section are for Point-to-Point mode only. Use of the Call Book for
MultiPoint systems is explained later in this chapter.
Three settings must be made for two FreeWave transceivers to communicate in Point-to-Point mode:
1.
The Master’s serial number must be listed in the Slave's Call Book.
2.
The Slave’s serial number must be listed in the Master's Call Book if Slave security is disabled.
3.
The Master must be programmed to call the Slave.
The Call Book allows users to use up to 10 FreeWave transceivers, designate 2 or more Repeaters to be
used with each transceiver, and designate which Slave the Master will call. A specific Slave may be called
by entering (C) at the prompt, followed by the menu number corresponding to that Slave. To call any
available Slave in the list the user should enter (C) and then (A) to direct the Master to Call All.
Note:
To call a Slave through one or more Repeaters, that Slave must be called individually. When
Call All is selected the Master will not connect with any Slaves through Repeaters. With the Call
All setting, the Master calls every Slave in the list and will connect with the first Slave to respond.
When calling through a Repeater, the Master must first call that Repeater and establish a
communication link with it prior to making contact with the Slave.
