Point-to-Point
configuration transfers data between two radios (points) in the
network. In the network shown below, the Master Radio and Radio 2 transfer
data between each other. Radio 3 only acts as a bridge to get the data between
them.
Broadcast
configuration creates the network to broadcast data from the
Master radio to the other radios in the network. All of the other radios return
their data to the Master radio.
After the network has been created, the settings in the radios can be modified to
allow data from one radio to be passed to any other or all other radios in the
network. The following illustration shows the possible settings for Radio 2.
For example, peer-to-peer communication can be established in a Protocol
Transparent network by setting the destination in each of the radios to 'Broadcast
to all Radios'.
Several networks can operate at the same location, however, each network
must
use a differe
nt network channel (page 105).
Note:
Each point-to-point network operates independently of each other - there can be
no
intercommunication
between point-to-point networks.
