MORE THAN THREE REMOTES WITH REPEATER, REPEAT ONLY THE REMOTE RADIOS
This configuration can have as many remote radios as you want, and only those radios that require a repeater
will have their packets repeated.
• First, use the wireless configuration program to configure the radios: base, remote, and repeater radios.
For simplicity, assign all the remote radios that require the repeater to the same remote ID. We will be
changing the ID in step 2.
• Second, use a terminal emulation program, for example Windows HyperTerminal or ProComm, to
modify the programming on each of the radios. For the base radio give the commands "ACK OFF" to
turn off the automatic ACK feature, and "EXIT" to save the changes.
• For the remote radios (not the repeater), you will assign a new ID number. This number will be in a
different "group" from the IDs used by the non-repeated radios. These ID's are 128 (0100 hex)
through 254 (01FE hex). For each remote radio give the commands "ACK OFF" to turn off the
automatic ACK feature, "MYID <new ID in hex>"and "EXIT" to save the changes.
• For the Repeater radio give the commands: "ACK OFF", "REPEAT 1 0000" to repeat base radio
packets, "REPEAT 2 01FF" to repeat packets for the new group, and "EXIT" to save changes.
• Third, install the radios and weather stations
• Fourth, when configuring the communications for the remote stations that require the repeater, use the
Radio Name "Other" and enter the ID number of the remote station in the "Phone" text box. Use the
prefix "0x" if the number is entered in hexadecimal.
