NOTICE
If radio operating mode is changed from
Transmitter
to
Receiver
, reboot the network before changing or setting binding
values. See
Reboot All the Radios in the Network
.
If the operating mode is changed from
Receiver
to
Transmitter
without rebooting (and more programming changes are
required), reset power before using the radio in the new
operation mode. See
Reboot All the Radios in the Network
.
Note:
Only one radio can be set as the Transmitter. The
cabinet located in the most central point within a group
of cabinets is typically the best system to set as the
Transmitter.
Reception (Rx) Sensitivity
If a radio is not being found in the network, first adjust the Transmission
Power (see below). If needed, increase the radio’s reception sensitivity.
Notes:
Your radio may only have low RX Sensitivity level available.
Wait up to ten minutes for the radio network to activate.
Before changing Reception Sensitivity or Transmission Power, refer to
the Troubleshooting section.
Adjust the Reception Sensitivity
1. Select
MAIN MENU >
R
ADIO SETUP > RX Sensitivity
.
See Figures 57 and 58.
The
RX SENSITIVITY LEVEL
screen appears. See Figure 59.
If Low is selected and saved, go to Step 3.
If High is selected and saved, see Transmission Power.
2. Scroll down to
High
. See Figure 60.
3. Select and confirm the new value. See Figure 61.
If increasing reception sensitivity does not solve the problem,
see
Transmission (TX) Power.
Transmission (Tx) Power
Note:
TX Power Level may only have low or low and medium
options available.
See
Cover Page
for FCC information.
Refer to the
Omni and Yagi Antenna Installation Guide
for information on
multiple-antenna combinations.
NOTICE
Using the radio at High power with a Yagi antenna violates FCC
regulations. Only use
Low
or
Medium
settings.
