7. Configure RF Network parameters and type. The Network address is an
identifier used to allow a group of radios to communicate and exclude non-
member radios. In this example the number 2000 has been used. The
“Network Radius” indicates the maximum distance between the Master radio
and the furthest remote. The default unit is in kilometers (KM) but the units can
be expressed as miles as in the example below. The “Upstream” and
“Downstream” Device ID’s are not relevant for a radio configured as a Point-to-
Multi-Point Master and can be ignored. Make sure the “Network-Type” is set to
“Point to Multipoint” and the “Mode” is set to master. Next, verify that the
“Protocol” is set to Serial. Finally, set “Serial Framing” to Message Mode if you
are running Modbus or other message oriented protocol, and set “Serial
Framing” to Byte Mode for everything else.
