3. RF System Configuration
3.1 IDs and Groups
An ID to a terminal / base is just like a name to a person. Each terminal / base in the same RF system
should have a unique ID. If the IDs are duplicated, the system may not work properly. So before
running your RF system, please make sure that every terminal / base has a unique ID.
For 433MHz RF system, up to 45 terminals and 16 bases can be supported by one system. The valid
ID ranges from 1 to 45 for terminals, and 1 to 16 for bases. To support all 45 terminals, the 433MHz
RF bases need to be configured to 3 groups. Each group and also each base can support up to 15
terminals.
•
Base IDs (433MHz):
01 ~ 16
•
Terminal IDs (433MHz):
01 ~ 45 (3 groups)
01 ~ 15: supported by Group #1 Bases
16 ~ 30: supported by Group #2 Bases
31 ~ 45: supported by Group #3 Bases
For 2.4GHz RF system, up to 99 terminals and 16 bases can be supported by one system, and they all
belong to the same group.
•
Base IDs (2.4GHz):
01 ~ 16
•
Terminal IDs (2.4GHz):
01 ~ 99
3.2 RF Terminals
The configurable properties of a terminal are as follows:
433 MHz RF model (8310)
