Protocol
ID
Identifying number (from 101 to 199) given to each satellite.
Allows you to define the method of connection to the
system:
0 - Network = RS-485 connection with Sysnet
network;
1 - Transmit Immediate = Single RS-232 connection
without the support of a
transmission protocol;
2 - Test site survey = Reserved for the testing
procedure;
3 - Test echo = Reserved for the testing
procedure
Mode
4 - Test RSSI = Reserved for the testing
procedure.
Term. from... to
is necessary to indicate the first and last identifying number
in the group of terminals managed by each satellite.
If one terminal must transfer data within the coverage range
of different satellites, its identifying number should be
included in each group.
Group
Numerical value from 1 to 6 which allows management of
different satellites (communicating with the same terminal)
to be distinguished, so that no problems arise in the
overlapping coverage zones.
The polling operation requires the system to know which
satellites share or not radio overlapping coverage zones. To
get this information it is necessary that the satellites are
divided into different groups. The satellites of each group
must not share overlapping coverage and communicate with
the same terminals at the same time.
This procedure allows the different groups to be activated
alternatively, so that they never contain two satellites polling
the same terminal at the same time. Furthermore, by giving
the same group number to satellites communicating with
different terminals, the connection can take place
simultaneously.
