- The Hoping Channel value is the channel on which the radio modem will
communicate. These channels are not non-interfering. Both modems must be
communicating on the same channel
- The Destination Address is the address that identifies the destination of the RF
packet. Only radio modems having matching addresses can communicate with each
others.
