5. Configure Point-to-MultiPoint Networks
When installing MultiPoint networks it is important to do some up front planning around the
devices to implement and the route the data is going to take back to the Master. A MultiPoint
network can contain these devices:
l Only one Master.
l All communications are from and to the Master.
l An unlimited number of Slave radios (remote sites).
l An unlimited number of Repeaters between any Slave and the Master.
l Serial Repeaters can be Slave radios and Repeaters at the same time.
This section provides details specifically to a Multipoint network:
l Point to MultiPoint network characteristics.
l Use the Network ID (on page 43) or the Call Book to establish which radios in the network
can communicate with each other.
l Use Subnet ID (on page 70) to route traffic through the network and back to the Master.
l Settings and recommendations for additional parameters that apply to a MultiPoint
network.
l Conserve power in devices in the network.
l Running network diagnostics.
