Node Configuration
The node configuration made at the installation can be changed.
To be able to change the node configuration, connect to the repeater
locally with an OMT32/PC.
Log on the repeater.
Select the Repeater Network option in the Advanced menu, and then
the Node Configuration option.
Set the node identity and the Control Station in the following dialog box:
Set the Network ID to a unique number between 1 and 13 for the current
repeater.
Check the Control Station box if the current repeater can handle the
communication and thus be a master repeater in the net. Several
repeaters in the same net can be selected to be Control Stations, which
means that the next selected repeater becomes the master if the previous
master of some reason has ceased to be i operation.
At least one repeater has to be selected as Control Station in an R2R net.
It is recommended to select all repeaters in the net as Control Stations,
except for fiber optic slave repeaters.
When ready, click the Update button.
Now, the repeater has to reboot to set the configuration in effect. The
following dialog box is shown:
