5.0 Network Topologies
Example 5.2.1 (continued)
The ROAMING address for the REPEATER is set to 1:
the UNIT ADDRESS of the MASTER. This means that
this REPEATER will synchronize to, and communicate
directly with, the MASTER.
There is no DESTINATION UNIT field for remote units
in a PMP network: the destination is predefined as
‗1‘ (the MASTER ‗point‘).
On the following page are the configurations for the REMOTES.
Remote 20‘s ROAMING ADDRESS is set to 2, the
UNIT ADDRESS of the REPEATER. This Remote will
synchronize to the Repeater and communicate via the
Repeater to the Master.
Remote 30‘s ROAMING ADDRESS is set to 1 (the
UNIT ADDRESS of the MASTER): it will synchronize
to, and communicate directly with, the MASTER.
Image 5D: PMP Example 5.2.1: Repeater
When bench testing PMP with
a REPEATER in the network,
configure the REMOTE to
s y n c h r o n i ze t o t h e
R E P E A T ER v i a t h e
R E M O T E ‘ s R O A M I N G
ADDRESS field. If this is not
done, with the REMOTE in
close proximity to the
MASTER and its ROAMING
set as 1 (default), the
REMOTE will simpl y
synchronize with (and pass
data directly to) the MASTER,
bypassing the REPEATER
altogether.
