MDS 05-2708A01, Rev.  D 

XADDR [0–31]

Extended Address

Used to display or program the Extended Address of this radio that will serve 
as a common address for the sub-network synchronized to this Master or 
Extension. This value can be listed in the 

XPRI

 parameter of associated Exten-

sion or Remote radios to allow them to synchronize to this radio. We recom-
mend setting the Master to zero (0). It is easy to remember, and is the default 
address when the INIT command is used. (Programmed only in Master and 
Extension radios.)

XMAP [00000000-FFFFFFFF]

Map of Extension Addresses

XMAP is a 32-bit hex entry where the least significant bit represents XADDR 
0 and the most significant bit represents XADDR 31. The full 32-bit hex 
value represents the entire list of extensions with which the radio will be 
allowed to communicate. (Pertains to Remotes and Extensions only.)

This parameter is easily programmed through the MDS TransNET Configu-
ration Software’s 

Store-and-Forward Settings

 panel.

XPRI [0–31]

Primary Extended Address

Will display or program the extended address of the primary radio with which 
this radio will attempt to synchronize and communicate. A setting of 

NONE

 

allows the unit to synchronize with any Master or Extension in the 

XMAP

 list. 

(Parameter only meaningful for Remote or Extension units.)

XRSSI [NONE, –40...–120]

Extension RSSI Level

The 

XRSSI

 command is used to set the RSSI minimum signal level required 

to preserve synchronization with a non-primary Extension radio. This param-
eter will be ignored if 

XPRI

 is set to 

NONE

.

ZONE CLEAR

Clear Zone Statistics Log

The 

ZONE CLEAR

 command clears the zone data for all zones in the Zone 

Data Log, resetting the count to 0. (Zone data is also cleared automatically 
upon reboot.)

ZONE DATA

Read Zone Statistics Log

The transceiver divides its frequency operating spectrum into eight 
3.0 MHz-wide zones or sub-bands. (These are the same zones referenced by 
the 

SKIP

 command described earlier.) Data frame statistics are maintained for 

each zone to indicate the transmission quality of data through the network. 
This information is useful for identifying zones where significant interference 
exists.
