a. Max Packet Size and Min Packet Size (on page 40)
b. RF Data Rate (on page 45)
c. Rx Frequency (on page 46)
d. Tx Frequency (on page 50)
Note: The Frequency Key option is located in the F submenu after 0 is typed to access the
Frequency Key menu in Main Menu 3.
Changing these values may help to eliminate interference from other FreeWave networks.
15. Press <Esc> to return to the Main menu.
16. On the Main Menu, type 5 and press <Enter>.
17. In the Network ID field, type any value between 1 and 4095 (except 255).
FREEWAVE Recommends: Set the Network ID field to the last three or four digits of the
Master radio's serial number if it is below 4095.
This value must be the same in all radios in the network.
Important!: 255 disables the Network ID (on page 43) and enables the Call Book.
18. Press <Esc> to exit the Setup menu and resume normal radio operation.
5.3. Overlapping MultiPoint Networks
Overlapping MultiPoint networks may be set up effectively when several key parameters are set
correctly. Overlapping MultiPoint networks are defined as networks using different Master radios,
which share or overlap in a specific geographic area. It may also include collocated radios
configured into different networks.
Note: For more information, see Application Note #5412, Synchronizing Collocated Masters
(Multi-Master Sync Mode) (available at support.freewave.com).
Registration is required to use this website.
Co-located MultiPoint networks require that these parameters be unique for each network:
l Network ID (on page 43) (unless using the Call Book)
l Max Packet Size and Min Packet Size (on page 40)
