Digi has developed firmware which will allow the XStream and XTend modems to act as repeaters. Repeaters can be used in a wireless network using the XStream or XTend Radio Modems to extend range and reliability. Two repeater network configurations are available: Basic Broadcast and Basic Addressed Repeater modes. Parameter configurations can be used to configure the radios to operate in a repeater network.
In the following Application Note, the following scenarios will be discussed:
