RF-Link Technology NL6000 manual Repeat from a Base to a Remote

Page 19

Consider the following example of a repeater (MYID3000) configured to repeat packets transmitted from a base station (MYID2000) to a hidden remote (MYID4203). Unit MYID3000 is configured with a repeater entry that has a Trigger = TOID and ID = 4203. This entry tells unit MYID3000 to listen for packets that have a destination address of TOID4203. If the repeater receives a packet matching the criteria, it immediately repeats the packet. Figure 10 illustrates this scenario.

Consider the following example of a repeater (MYID3000) configured to repeat packets transmitted from a hidden remote (TOID4201) to a base station (TOID2000). Unit MYID3000 is configured with a repeater entry that has a Trigger = MYID and ID = 4201. This entry tells unit MYID3000 to listen for packets that have a source address of MYID4201. If the repeater receives a packet matching the criteria, it immediately repeats the packet. Figure 11 illustrates this scenario.

Figure 11: Repeat from a Remote to a Base Station

Because MYID and TOID values may use wildcards, it is possible to set up a single repeater entry that will repeat all packets destined to a group of hidden remotes. In Figure 12, a repeater entry with a Trigger = TOID and ID = 42FF repeats any packet with a destination matching TOID42FF.
