Configuring the Radio Network

The first parameter to configure is the SID for the bridge’s

radio. The SID is a unique, 6-digit, hexadecimal number that

is attached to each packet sent out over the radio. The

Bridge’s SID must be the same as the SIDs of other nodes

on its network. You can select your own SID, or you can ask

the unit to do it for you. If you ask it to select an SID for you,

the Bridge selects a random SID and assigns it to the unit.

Note: Letting the unit select a random SID may be the best

way to select the SID. There is less chance of this SID

conflicting with other networks that might be in its radio

range.

Whether you select a specific SID or let the unit select one,

you must use the same SID with all other nodes on the

network.

The Bridge’s bit rate and frequency also must match the bit

rate and frequency of the radios in other nodes on the

network.

To set radio network parameters:

1. Type "1" at the prompt to select "Radio" from the

Configuration Menu.

The Configuration Radio Menu appears.

2. Type "1" to select "Sid" from the Configuration Radio

Menu.

The prompt: "Enter one of [random, an even number in

hex of ffffffh or less]" appears.
