Operation Mode Description
Point-to-Point Slave /
Master
Switchable (6)
Mode 6 allows the radio to be controlled entirely through software commands.
l A number of key parameters in the FreeWave user interface may be
changed either directly using a program such as Windows® Terminal or
through the use of script files.
l Additionally, when the Point-to-Point Slave / Master Switchable option
is selected and the radio is not calling a Slave, it functions as a Slave and
accepts any appropriate calls from other radios.
Note: For more information, see Application Note #5476, Mode 6
(available at support.freewave.com).
Registration is required to use this website.
Point-to-MultiPoint
Repeater (7)
This option allows the radio to operate as a Repeater in a MultiPoint network.
l As many Repeaters as necessary are allowed in a MultiPoint network.
l If the Repeater is to act as a Slave / Repeater, set the Slave Repeater
parameter in the MultiPoint Parameters menu to Enabled.
Ethernet Options (F)
Note: This menu is only used for Ethernet radios.
Although this menu may be visible, it is not used in the LRS455A-
C, LRS455A-CE, LRS455-T.
4.2. Establish Communication with Instrumentation and
Computers
The settings on the Baud Rate tab are the communications settings between the radio and the
instrument or computer it is connected to (radio serial port to the device).
Important!: These settings are unique to each radio, and do not need to match across the network.
Example: A pair of radios may be used in an application to send data from remote process
instrumentation to an engineer's computer.
In this application, the Baud Rate for the radio on the instrumentation might be set to 9600 and the
radio on the polling host might be set to 57,600.
These settings are available in the Baud Rate menu in the terminal interface, and apply to both
Point-to-Point and Point-to-MultiPoint networks.
Note: See the Parameter Preference (on page 8) for a description of the parameter table's content.
