Example 5.2.1 (continued)
·
The ROAMING address for the REPEATER is set to 1:
the UNIT ADDRESS of the MASTER. This means that
this REPEATER will synchronize to, and communicate
directly with, the MASTER.
·
There is no DESTINATION UNIT field for remote units
in a PMP network: the destination is predefined as
‘1’ (the MASTER ‘point’).
On the following page are the configurations for the REMOTES.
·
Remote 20’s ROAMING ADDRESS is set to 2, the
UNIT ADDRESS of the REPEATER. This Remote will
synchronize to the Repeater and communicate via the
Repeater to the Master.
·
Remote 30’s ROAMING ADDRESS is set to 1 (the
UNIT ADDRESS of the MASTER): it will synchronize
to, and communicate directly with, the MASTER.
Image 5D: PMP Example 5.2.1: Repeater
When bench testing PMP with
a REPEATER in the network,
configure the REMOTE to
s y n c h r o n i z e t o t h e
R E P E A T E R v i a t h e
R E M O T E ’ s R O A M I N G
ADDRESS field. If this is not
done, with the REMOTE in
close proximity to the
MASTER and its ROAMING
set as 1 (default), the
R E M O T E w i l l s i m pl y
synchronize with (and pass
data directly to) the MASTER,
bypassing the REPEATER
altogether.
