5. 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” address should
be set to the DeviceID of the Master radio. “Downstream” Device ID’s are not
relevant for a radio configured as a Point-to-Multi-Point slave and can be
ignored. Make sure the “Network-Type” is set to “Point to Multipoint” and the
“Mode” is set to slave. 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.
