Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 ill ustrate suggested formats for
documenting primary station and secondary station parameters,
respectively. Most of this information is required to be entered
during network generation, DXlO system generation, and TX5 system
generation. This type of documentation on network assignments
should be available for reference before network generation, DXlO
system generation, and TX5 system generation are star ted. The
network planner should cross-reference the information sheets to
facilitate the association of the software and hardware
components of the communications package.
