Programming the Call Book to Use 3 or 4 Repeaters
In a point to point link FreeWave can utilize up to 4 repeaters. To use 3 or 4
repeaters program the Call Book with the slave being called, followed by the first 2
repeaters being used (from the master calling out to the slave). In the next
position in the Call Book enter 999-9999 as the number to call. When prompted
for the repeaters enter the third and fourth repeaters in the link.
Figure 8 depicts a point to point link where a slave is called through 4 repeaters.
In this example the master is calling the slave, 571-3872, through repeater 1, 901-
1234, then repeater 2, 910-0234, then repeater 3, 571-3456, and finally repeater 4,
571-4567. Note that it is the entry of serial number 999-9999 in the position
following the first two repeaters which instructs the master to continue calling
through the repeaters programmed on that line.
Important: It is important that the Call Book slots (0 - 9) are filled sequentially
beginning with 0, the first slot in the book. Serial numbers do not need to be
entered in numerical order, however, there must not be any 000-0000 numbers in
the middle of the list of good serial numbers. The reason for this is that when a
master is instructed to Call All available slaves it will call all slaves listed until it
reaches the first phone number of 000-0000. If a valid serial number is entered
after the all zero number it will not be recognized as a valid number to call by the
master.
