TReX User Manual v2.14 Firmware
Store Forward Operation
The TReX can operate as a stand-alone repeater to forward paging messages and also extend
wireless serial operation.
Transmit and receive configuration should be configured to be the same when forwarding
messages. *RX_PROTO should equal the *TX_PROTO and *RX_MODE should equal
*TX_MODE.
Typically the TReX would be configured as follows:
Delay of 2 second before forwarding, reject duplicate messages for 10 seconds.
*STORE_FWD=20,10<CR>
Ensure all store forward units have RX_RANGES set to allow all possible CAP codes that are
of interest to forward.
The duplicate reject feature is essential to use when the TReX is been used in a multi-hop store
forward system. If this is set to 0, rejection of duplicated messages are not possible, and
messages may bounce back and forward between repeaters.
The duplicate reject period, if used, ALWAYS must be of a longer duration than the store
forward delay for reliable operation.
Multiple repeaters can be used, but increase message delivery time. Use of more than a single
repeater in a system is generally less than ideal and typically more powerful transmitters
should be used if multiple store forward repeaters are required.
See the Configuration section on this document for more details on command usage if
required.
