c) Automatic selection of Radio physical mode to use
A parameter allows the WaveCard to choose its mode of transmission, according to the radio address of the
distant equipment. Each Wavenis equipment integrates its mode of transmission in its radio address. If
parameter SWITCH_MODE_STATUS is activated, then the WaveCard analyzes the mode of transmission of the
distant
equipment, and modify its mode accordingly to the distant equipment. If parameter SWITCH_MODE_STATUS is
deactivated, the WaveCard communicates with its default transmission mode.
