4. FGRplus and HTplus User Manual Transmission Characteristics The Transmission Characteristics section of the Radio Setup page allows the user to modify several different parameters in the transceiver Many of these parameters must be maintained throughout the network for proper functionality Note This section is only for the advanced user who has a good understanding of the princi ples of radio data transmission In a Point to Point network the settings for the Endpoints and Repeaters that are not deter mined by the Gateway are Transmit Power and Retry Time Out All other settings in a Point to Point network are determined by the Gateway radio s settings Frequency Key The Frequency Key setting in the Radio Setup menu allows the user to modify the hopping pat terns of the transceiver There are 15 choices available for the Frequency Key setting 0 9 and A E representing 15 different pseudo random hop patterns This is to minimize the interfer ence with other FreeWave transceivers operating in the area For instance if there were 10 pairs of FreeWave transceivers operating on different networks in close proximity setting a different Frequency Key value for each pair reduces the chance that transceivers will hop to the same frequency at the same time If two networks were to hop to the same frequency by chance the next hop would be to a different frequency for both networks Additional network separation can be gained by adjus

8. A Point to Point network is limited to one Gateway and one Endpoint transceiver Up to 4 Re peaters may be added to extend the reach of the network but no other Gateway or Endpoint may be added In a Point to Multipoint network also referred to as a Multipoint network the transceiver des ignated as a Gateway is able to simultaneously communicate with numerous Endpoints In its simplest form a Multipoint network functions with the Gateway broadcasting its messages to all Endpoints and the Endpoints responding to the Gateway when given data by the device con nected to the data port It is important to note the differences between Point to Point and Multipoint networks In a Point to Point network all packets are acknowledged whether sent from the Gateway to the Endpoint or from the Endpoint to the Gateway In a Multipoint network outbound packets from the Gateway or Repeater to Endpoint or other Repeaters are sent a set number of times deter mined by the user The receiving transceiver Endpoint or Repeater will accept the first packet received that passes the 32 bit CRC However the packet is not acknowledged On the return trip to the Gateway all packets sent are acknowledged or retransmitted until they are acknowl edged Therefore the return link in a Multipoint network is generally very robust Traditionally a Multipoint network is used in applications where data is collected from many instruments and reported back to one central site
