13.3.3
Repeater chain using dual addressing
If the terminal devices cannot add address chains to the beginning of the data packets, a
network with several repeaters may still be realised by using dual addressing. In dual addressing
each link (see arrows below in figure) is given a unique address, which will prevent duplication
of messages and endless loops in the network. The terminal devices need not add anything to
the data.
Usually the primary transmit address is used in transmission (TX1). The secondary transmit
address (TX2) is used only if the R
epeater Mode
is used and the packet to be repeated was
received using the secondary reception address (RX2).
In the following example two repeaters are used. It should be noted that each link (arrow) might
be uniquely defined with the help of radio modem numbers and data transfer directions. The
Repeater Mode
should be switched ON only in the radio modems acting as repeaters to prevent
the packets from remaining in endless loops in the network.
Repeaters may also act as ordinary substations; in that case the terminal device must wait until
the message has reached the end of the repeater chain before sending data.
13.3.4
Redundant repeater chain
Reliability of a radio data communication system can be improved significantly by designing
redundant equipment setup for master and repeater stations. The two repeater chains are
separated by proper dual addressing setup. Slave stations need to be able to communicate with
the master through the both repeater chains. By using the "TX address auto switch" function, the
slave station modem directs the reply message to the repeater chain from which the request has
been received.
If "TX address auto switch" has been set ON, radio modem checks out the RX address of the
received message. When one of the RX addresses is recognised, all the messages coming in
from the serial interface will be sent to the air with matching TX address. The use of "TX address
auto switch" function is not recommended if Repeater Function is set ON.
