l Max Packet Size and Min Packet Size (on page 40)
l Network ID (on page 43)
l RF Data Rate (on page 45)
l Rx Frequency (on page 46)
l Tx Frequency (on page 50)
Radios that contain the same settings in all these parameters can communicate with each other.
Important!: If using the Call Book instead of the Network ID, or are running a Point-to-Point
network, the appropriate serial numbers must be listed in the Call Book for each radio.
If working with parallel Repeaters, the Frequency Key setting may differ.
4.4. Set the Data Transmission Characteristics
The Transmission Characteristics parameters are used to change settings that determine how
data is sent between radios in the network. Many of these parameters must be maintained
throughout the network for proper functionality.
These parameters are available in the Edit > Radio Transmission Characteristics menu in
the terminal interface and apply to both Point-to-Point and Point-to-MultiPoint networks, unless
indicated otherwise in the description.
Important!: The parameters on the Transmission Characteristics tab are only for the advanced
user who has a good understanding of the principles of RF transmission.
FREEWAVE Recommends: Most parameters in the Edit Radio Transmission Characteristics
menu can be left to their default settings when completing basic setup.
l Several settings on a Slave or Repeater radio come from the Master and are set ONLY at
the Master.
l These settings MUST be set on everySlave or Repeater:
l Hop Table Size (on page 38)
l Retry Timeout (on page 44)
l Slave Security (on page 47)
l Transmit Power (on page 48)
Caution: These parameters must be set and they must be the same for all radios in the
network:
l Max Packet Size and Min Packet Size (on page 40)
l RF Data Rate (on page 45)
l Rx Frequency (on page 46)
l Tx Frequency (on page 50)
