4.0 OPERATION MODE SELECTIONS
(0) Point-to-Point Master
AutoWAVE operates in a master/slave configuration. When designated as a master in Point-
to-Point mode the transceiver, will call any or all slaves it is instructed to call in the call
book. The master determines the settings used for all Radio Transmission Characteristics,
regardless of the settings in the slave and/or repeaters. A quick method of identifying a
master is to power up the transceiver. Prior to establishing a communication link with a
slave or repeater all three of the master’s LEDs will be solid red.
(1) Point-to-Point Slave
When set up as a slave, a AutoWAVE transceiver will communicate with any master in its
call book, either directly or through one or two repeaters. When functioning as a slave the
Entry to Call feature in the transceiver’s call book (Figure 3) is not operational. The slave
will communicate with any master on the list that calls.
(2) Point-to-Multipoint Master
The AutoWAVE transceiver may be set to run in Multipoint mode, which allows one master
to simultaneously be in communication with numerous slaves. A Point-to-Multipoint master
will communicate only with other transceivers designated as Point-to-Multipoint slaves or
Point-to-Multipoint repeaters.
(3) Point-to-Multipoint slave
Setting (3) allows the transceiver to operate as a slave in a Multipoint network. Refer to the
next chapter - ‘Multipoint Operation’ for more information on running a Multipoint network.
(4) Point-to-Point Slave/Repeater
Option 4 allows you to designate the transceiver to act as either a slave or a repeater,
depending upon the instructions received from the master for the specific communications
session. When a transceiver is placed in an ideal location, this setting offers the flexibility
of using that transceiver as an end point in the communication link (slave) or to extend the
link to a point further (repeater). These functions are not, however, available simultaneously
(The transceiver cannot act as both a slave and a repeater at the same time).
CAUTION
A transceiver designated as a repeater has no security
features, as explained below. When a transceiver is
designated as a Point-to-Point Slave/Repeater, it will
allow any master to use it as a repeater.
