2.8.3 COMMON CHARACTERISTICS
The networks described in this section share common characteristics:
1.
The DTE (data terminal equipment) network speed (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 b/s) must be the same for all
stations in a network.
2.
Transmission of online diagnostics may be enabled or disabled at any station or stations without affecting their ability
to communicate with other stations.
2.8.4 POINT-TO-POINT SYSTEM
Simple point-to-point connection is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Point-to-Point System
In this system, the user's equipment (DTE) may be set up in either a peer-to-peer or a Master-Remote configuration.
2.8.5 POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT SYSTEM
Basic point-to-multipoint systems are shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 - Point-to-Multipoint System (simplex or half-duplex)
If a half-duplex radio network is used (i.e. two frequencies with the master station transmitting and receiving on the reverse
pair from the remotes), the master station can be either full duplex or half-duplex.
If a simplex radio network is used (i.e. a single frequency for all stations), we recommend that the master Integra-TR be set
to "master", the remotes to "remote" and all units to "selective" data delivery. This will prevent remote stations from
hearing each other's responses. For full duplex configuration, set the receiving unit Rx/Tx Mode to Rx Only (using the Field
Programming Software). Set the transmitting unit mode to Tx Only.
