    MultiHop Repeater Radio. When a MultiHop radio is set to repeater mode, it acts as both a parent and a child. The repeater receives data packets from its parent, then re-transmits the data packet to the children within the repeater’s network. The  incoming packet of information is re-transmitted on both the radio link and the local serial link. 23-Aug-24 page 4 of 66 © Banner Engineering Corp.

    Conduct a Site Survey A site survey analyzes the radio signal between a MultiHop child radio and its parent and reports the number of data packets missed or received at relative signal strengths. page 12 of 66 23-Aug-24 © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved.

  • Page 13: Conduct A Multihop Site Survey (From The Lcd Menu System)

    Examine reception readings (G, Y, R, M) of the devices at various locations. M displays the percent of missed packets while G, Y, and R display the percent of received packets at those signal strengths. These values are continuously updated as long as the site survey is running. 23-Aug-24 page 13 of 66 © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved.

    We also recommend raising the radio units to a higher elevation, either by physically moving the devices or installing the antenna(s) remotely at a higher position. Additional antenna cables are available from Banner Engineering if needed. The absence of signals may also be because of the distance between the client (main) and server (remote) radios. If this is the case, please contact Banner Engineering for further assistance.

    Remove Moisture and Condensation—If condensation is present in any device, add a small desiccant packet to the inside of  the radio. To help vent the radios, Banner also sells a vented plug (model number BWA-HW-031) for the 1/2-inch NPT port of the Sure Cross radios.
