Other Information
Master
0
0
In firmware levels v2.34 and below, the Master uses 0,0.
Master
0-F 0-F
In firmware levels v2.40 and above, the Xmit Subnet ID
value must be set in the Master. All radios in the network
that link to the Master need to be adjusted to that value.
The Rcv Subnet ID on the Master has no affect on the
network.
Repeater1
0
1
A 0 will force the transceiver to link only to the Master.
Repeater2
1 2
Rcv SubnetID = 1 forces communication through
Repeater1. Repeater1 transmits on SubnetID 1.
Slave1
0
0 or F
Rcv SubnetID = 0 forces communication through
Master.
Slave2
1
0 or F
Rcv SubnetID = 1 forces communication through
Repeater1.
Slave3
2
0 or F
Rcv SubnetID = 2 forces communication through
Repeater2.
Slave4
0 0
The 0,0 setting allows the Slave to link with the first
Master or Repeater it hears with the correct NetworkID.
Note:
In firmware v2.40 and above, even though the Subnet ID default is F,F, the radios behave as if
their Subnet IDs are 0,0.
(D)
R
ADIO
ID
Option (D) allows a transceiver to be designated with an arbitrary, user selectable, 4 digit number which
identifies the transceiver in the diagnostics mode.
Overlapping MultiPoint Systems
Overlapping MultiPoint systems may be set up effectively with FreeWave transceivers several key
parameters are set correctly. Overlapping MultiPoint systems are defined as systems using different
Masters which share or overlap in a specific geographic area. It may also include co-located transceivers
configured into different networks.
Co-located MultiPoint networks require the following parameters be unique for each network:
Network ID, unless using Call Book
Frequency
Key
Max Packet Size
Min Packet Size
