1 PPS Enable/Delay (Menu Option 9)
The Navigator IIm does not support the 1 PPS Enable/Delay Option. This option
MUST
remain set to the default value of 0.
Slave/Repeater (Menu Option A)
The Slave/Repeater mode allows a transceiver in a point-to-multipoint system to
simultaneously act as a slave and a repeater. When in this mode a transceiver will repeat
any packets sent from a master as well as send them out the RS232 port. Thus where 2
transceivers would be necessary previously (one to repeat and one to be a slave) only one
is now needed.
To operate a transceiver as a multipoint slave/repeater you must set the operation mode to
(7) Multipoint Repeater and then enable the slave/repeater option (setting of 1).
Note: Intuicom Adaptive Multipoint is not available when the unit is operating as a
slave/repeater. Adaptive Multipoint must be disabled and DTR Connect mode (see
above) set to 0 on any unit operating as a slave/repeater.
Diagnostics (Menu Option B)
This option, when enabled, provides diagnostics data over a multipoint network
simultaneously with the application data when the Navigator IIm is operating in Master
Mode (see
Section 2.5.1
). Proper use of diagnostics requires the following:
1.
Diagnostics must be enabled on the master (set to 1) and the Navigator IIm
configured to operate in Master mode. OR an Intuicom Communicator II
operating as the Master radio.
2.
A second serial port (or computer) to run the diagnostics software
3.
Intuicom CommPro Diagnostics software, available from Intuicom.
Please contact Intuicom if you are interested in using the diagnostics feature in your
network.
Subnet ID (Menu Option C)
In a point-to-multipoint network where the Network ID is used (instead of the Call Book)
when a slave is initially powered it will connect with the first repeater or master that it
hears with the same Network ID. Likewise, a repeater in the network, when initially
powered up, will connect to the first master or repeater that it hears with the same
Network ID.
