6.5.Repeater Setup

Each NL6000 unit may have up to eight repeater entries. Each repeater entry includes a trigger, trigger ID, transmit channel, and transmit delay value. If a unit does not act as a repeater, do not set up any repeater entries. For more information about setting up a repeater unit, refer to Section 5.5

Table 3 shows how to set up the Trigger and ID values for each type of repeater trigger.
