Figure 3 Overview of Repeater Operation
In the example shown in Figure 3 above,
M8
A
is will communicate with all other
modems in the system. It can directly communicate with
B, H
, and
F
. Because
of propagation limits, it cannot communicate reliable to
E, D, C,
and
G
.
To solve this problem, some of the M8 modems are configured as repeaters.
The still are able to send and receive data, but they also will repeat data out to
the modems that are out of range of
M8
A
.
H
is configured to repeat all messages to/from
E, D
, and
G
.
B
is configured to
repeat all messages to/from
C
, and
D
is configured to repeat all messages
to/from
G
.
The following table illustrates one possible way the M8s could be programmed to
accomplish this type of system.
