
Hop Channel may be set from 1-32 and assigns the pseudo-random radio
frequency hopping pattern. A transceiver will not go In Range of or
communicate with a transceiver operating on a different Hop Channel.
Different hop channels can be used to prevent radios in one network from
listening to transmissions of another. Installations having more than one
Server network should also have different hop channels for each network.
2.4GHZ variation: Hop channels on 2.4 GHZ models may be set between
0 and 39. Hop channels 0-19 includes EU "low band" frequencies 2406 –
2435MHZ. Hop channels 20-39 includes EU "high band" frequencies
2444 – 2472MHZ.


Remote ID may be set from 1-255 and acts as the "RTU" address for this
particular OLCT 200. Controller channels receiving this monitor's data must
also be configured with this matching Remote ID address.

System ID may be set from 1-255 and is similar to a password character or
network number and makes network eavesdropping more difficult. A
transceiver will not go In Range of or communicate with a transceiver
operating on a different System ID.

*TX Multiples allows up to 5 consecutive repeats of EVERY transmission.
The default setting of 1 should only be increased if there is no other way to
improve communications success. Power consumption increases with radio
transmissions and battery life will be affected by raising the TX Multiples
setting.

*RF Handshaking affects the way RF transmissions are made by the OLCT
200. This menu may be set for OFF (default) or ON. OFF requires no
acknowledge from the receiving server. ON should be used only when
transmitting to a single receiving server (such as WX4, WX16 or WX64).
Since ON creates an "acknowledge" hand shake returned from the receiver,
only one receiver is allowed to avoid data collisions of the "acknowledge"
signal. If an "acknowledge" is not received by the OLCT 200 it transmits
repeatedly up to 16 times.
RF HANDSHAKING = OFF may be used for any application but is required
when transmitting to a Server and other receiver Client radios (Example is
