FREEWAVE Recommends: While the Call Book is an option in Point-to-MultiPoint networks,
FreeWave strongly recommends using the Network ID feature in most applications.
If a large MultiPoint network is implemented using the Call Book and a radio needs to be added to or
replaced in the network, each radio in the network must be physically reprogrammed and the new
serial number entered in the radio's Call Book.
This can be a time consuming process and can cause a delay in getting the network back up and
running.
Because the Network ID does not use serial numbers, MultiPoint Master radios and Repeaters may
be added or replaced without reprogramming each Slave radio in the network.
Important!: Using the Call Book in a MultiPoint network can cause delay in resuming
communications if a Master is damaged.
Note: For information about setting the Call Book, see Using Call Book in Point-to-Point Networks
(on page 79).
In a MultiPoint network, the Slave radios and Repeaters are not listed in the Master radio's Call
Book. Slave radios must have the Master and any Repeater it is going to use in its Call Book.
These examples show the Call Book of a MultiPoint network comprised of a Master, Repeater,
and Slave in which the Slave can communicate either through the Repeater or directly to the
Master.
