POINT-MULTIPOINT
In Point-Multipoint networks one Master Radio is in communication with at l east two
Remote Radios. The Remotes can only communicate with their Master. Remotes
cannot communicate with each other directly, the data must be passed through the
Master. A Point-Multipoint network will not work with an applicat ion which requires peer
to peer communication. The OS2400 Point -Multipoint network can only be used with
applications that use the Modbus communication protocol.
?? Channel: Channel selection is used to allow the operation of u p to 8 different
networks in the same location. For network functionality these channel
requirements must be adhered to:
?? The Master Radio and Remote Radio (or Remote Radios) of each network must be
assigned to the same channel.
?? Networks in close proximity must be assigned to different channels.
