Radio Configuration:
The radio communication board has two banks of 8-position DIPswitches: SW1 and SW2. The function
of these switches is different for a host, remote and repeater unit. We recommend powering the unit
down while making any changes to the configuration.

Network ID:
The Network ID is common to both the host and remote modes of
operation. All hosts and remotes that are intended to communicate
with each other must be set to the same Network ID. Four ID's are
available: A, B, C, D. They are set as shown in the table.
RF Output Power:
The radio output power can be selected with SW2-7.
transmission ranges select the 100mW range to limit the amount of 'RF
pollution'. Select the 1W setting for: a) longer transmission ranges, b) heavy
foliage transmission scenarios, c) if there is no communication at the 100mW setting, or d) if the signal
strength is less than -93dBm.
Host Configuration:
To make an RCI-800 operate as a host unit, make sure that SW2-8 is flipped down.
Next, set the number of remotes that the host is to
communicate with using SW1-1, -2, -3. These switches are
binary encoded as shown in the chart to the right.
