WI-GTWY-9-xxx Wireless Gateway
Introduction v1.18
18
The data concentrator network is different than using the WI-GTWY-9-xxx as a repeater. A
repeater re-transmits each message in the same format. A data concentrator collects the I/O
values as a block, and transmits the complete block in one transmission.
1.3.4
WI-GTWY-9-xxx Repeaters
Any WI-I/O 9-x module can repeat a normal radio message, however only WI-GTWY-9-xxx
modules can repeat a block message. WI-GTWY-9-xxx units connected to a host device can also
act as a repeater for other modules.
Where a WI-GTWY-9-xxx is being used without a host device as a repeater or data-concentrator,
it can be configured as “Repeater-only”. This allows the RS232/485 port to be used for on-line
diagnostics
