2.4 CONFIGURING RADIO
PARAMETERS
There are two primary data layers in the MDS iNET 900 network—
radio and data. Since the data layer is dependent on the radio layer
working properly, this is a good place to make sure the unit is configured
as you want it to be. This is the primary radio menu, the Radio Config-
uration Menu, and a secondary menu, the Skip Zone Options.
