- Modbus RTU Timing
- The Modbus RTU setting causes the radio to wait for an amount of time, “gathering” data before sending out the radio link.
- With a setting of 0 (Disabled), the radio will send data out its radio link as soon as the data is received into the serial port.
- With a setting of 1, the radio will wait for a number of slots equal to 2 times the Master Packet Repeat setting before sending the received data out the radio link. For example, if Master Packet Repeat = 3, the radio will wait for 6 slots, gathering ...
- With a setting of 2 and higher, the radio will wait for a number of slots calculated by the following formula:
- (Modbus RTU Setting + Master Packet Repeat Setting + 1) x 2
- For example, in a radio where the Modbus RTU setting = 2 and the Master Packet Repeat setting = 3, the radio will wait for (2+3+1) x 2, or 12 slots.

Call Book
The Call Book is required to be used in Point-to-Point networks. The instructions provided in this section
are for Point-to-Point mode only.
Using the Call Book offers both security and flexibility in determining how FreeWave transceivers
communicate with each other.
Three settings must be made for two FreeWave transceivers to communicate in Point-to-Point mode:
1. The Master’s serial number must be listed in the Slave's Call Book or Slave Security is turned off
in the Slave.
2. The Slave’s serial number must be listed in the Master's Call Book.
3. The Master must be programmed to call the Slave.
The Call Book allows users to incorporate up to 10 FreeWave transceivers, and designate which Slave the
Master will call. To set the Entry to Call option, select the appropriate option in the drop down.
