The examples in this section show the subnet definitions from the Master radio through the
network to the Slave radios. When the subnet path is defined, the Slave radios can follow the
route back to the Master.
This example shows:
l Repeater 1 must talk directly to the Master.
l Repeater 2 must talk directly to Repeater 1.
l Slave 1, 2, and 3 are forced along the direction of the solid lines.
l Slave 4 may link to the first Master or Repeater it hears in the network.

Subnet and Optional Slave Communication
Radio Rx Tx Description
Master 0 0
The default settings (F, F) actually use 0, 0.
The Rx Subnet on the Master has no effect on the network.
Slave 1 0 F
Rx Subnet = 0 forces the radio to link only to the Master.
The Slave does not transmit to any device except the Master, so
its Tx Subnet is F.
Repeater 0 1
Rx Subnet = 0 forces communication through the Master.
Transmits on Subnet ID 1.
Slave 2 1 F Rx Subnet = 1 forces communication through the Repeater.
Slave 3 1 F Rx Subnet = 1 forces communication through the Repeater.
Slave 4 0 0
The 0,0 setting allows the Slave to link with the Master or
Repeater with the same Network ID, whichever the Slave hears
first.
