TDMA Segment Configuration

While TDD provides the best performance for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations,
please enable "Timed Preset Segments" (in order to avoid RF collisions) for networks with a repeater
unit.
For operations through a single repeater (two RF coverage areas, Figure 68), TDMA allocates bandwidth
to the Master, repeater, and remote in turn, to avoid collisions. For a three-unit network configuration,
that includes a repeater unit, enable "TDD mode" and "Timed Preset Segments". The time between the
syncs (known as a dwell period) is equally distributed between the three units (Figure 69).
Note: TDD Mode must be enabled in order to enable "Timed Preset Segments".

Similarly, for a four-unit network configuration with a repeater (as in Figure 70), enable "TDD mode" and
"Timed Preset Segments". The time segments will be equally distributed between the master, repeater,
and remotes.
