Step 2
Configure the Chronos
System Bridge
Modify the settings based on how the
Chronos
System Bridge will be used in the system. The set-
tings are as follows:
Main Repeater
Set this value to “Yes” if the
Chronos
System
Bridge will be the Main System Repeater. This
setting can only be changed later by returning the
Chronos
System Bridge to factory defaults.
Note:
In
order to bridge systems,
Main Repeater
must be
set to “Yes”. The
Chronos
System Bridge will
automatically set
Main Repeater
to “Yes” when
Bridge Systems
is set to “Yes”.
Bridge Systems
Set this value to “Yes” if the
Chronos
System
Bridge will be used to bridge two RadioRA
®
sys-
tems. Otherwise, leave this value “No”. This setting
can be changed from “No” to “Yes” later, if desired;
however, this setting can only be changed from
“Yes” to “No” by returning the
Chronos
System
Bridge to factory defaults.
