The Extensions are single radios which serve as bridges between adjacent
sub-network levels. Extensions will undertake a “remote” personality in one
timeslot, and a “master” personality in the alternate timeslot and provide
communications with associated Remotes downstream. Extensions behave
like two radios with their data ports tied together, first synchronizing with
their upstream Master during their Remote personality period, and then
providing synchronization signals to dependent Remotes downstream during
its Master personality period.
All Remotes synchronize to a corresponding Master. This can be the “real
master” (the
MODE M
unit), or it can be a repeater “Extension” that derives
synchronization from the “real master”.
Payload polls/packets broadcast from the network Master will be repeated to
all levels of the network, either directly to Remotes, or through network
repeaters—the Extensions station. The targeted Remote will respond to the
poll following the same path back to the Master.
9.3 Configuration Parameters for Store-and Forward
Services
The installation and configuration of an MDS TransNET 900 network with
an Extension using SAF is straight-forward with only a few unique
parameters that need to be considered and set at each unit.
In every network there can be only one Master station. It will serve as the sole
gateway to the outside world. The following three tables detail the parameters
that will need to be set on each type of radio in the network.
