1. Normal mode: Radios are defaulted to work as point-to-multipoint. A
network consists of a master radio broadcasting to multiple slaves
and/or repeaters.
Any two radios in this network may also be set up as private network or
point-to-point using AT command set to dial the other radio ID. Once
this link is established, these two radios will reject all data from the
master or from the repeater radio.
The radios will return to point-to-multipoint mode as soon as
disconnect AT command is issued.
2. Boot Loader mode: With proper shorting on block JP3, the radio goes
into the boot loader mode, allowing for the radio firmware upgrade
function.
Refer to Figure 1–1 for locations of the following components. Also
reference the specifications section for additional detail.
● J182, antenna connector: SMA jack.
● JP3 (4-pin double row header): Radio operation mode select: normal or

port. Must be connected in order to configure the radio via your PC or
to perform diagnostics on the network. Works with configure-
