Skipping zones is one way of dealing with constant interference on one or more frequencies in the radio's
operating band. See A Word About Radio Interference on Page 50 for more information on dealing with
interference. Consult "APPENDIX B – Operating Frequencies" to see the frequency range covered by
each zone.
The radio.skip value is entered as an 8-element, comma-separated array, delimited by square braces. Each
array element may specify a zone (1 through 8) to skip. Unused array elements should be filled with "0"
such that there are always 8 items. Items in the list may be specified in any order.
The radio.skip value is set at the Master and is automatically passed on to all Remotes in a network.
3.3.2.12
radio.unit_addr [1-65000]
Unit address is used for network-wide diagnostics (used by PulseNET and Field Network Manager).
.Valid network addresses range from 1 to 65000. Default value is the last four digits of the radio's serial
number. Values < 10000 must match the 4-digit default. Values >= 10000 can be arbitrary.
NOTE
Keeping unit address set to the last 4 digits of serial number is recommended and should only
be changed if a conflict is detected. This method helps minimize conflicts between radios.
radio.mode ["m" or "r" or "x"]
3.3.2.13
The radio.mode attribute sets the operating mode of the radio. A Master radio is set with radio.mode =
"m"; a Remote set by radio.mode = "r" and an Extension is set by radio.mode = "x".
All units default to Remotes; other modes must be specifically programmed with cfg set radio.mode.
If mode "x" is used, the mode "x" radio should be programmed with an Extended Address (XADDR).
Units that need to hear this mode "x" radio must be programmed with an appropriate radio.xpri and/or
radio.xmap value.
A mode "x" radio will behave like a mode "r" radio unless radio.saf is set to "on"
NOTE
Owner settings
The Owner attribute group contains system identification info.

}
3.3.3.1 owner.message [<63 character string>]
Owner message is a 63-character string. For units equipped with a display this will appear as the text on
status screen. Strings of 20 characters or less display best. Default is blank.
3.3.3.2 owner.name [<63 character string>]
Owner name is a 63-character string. Default is blank.
System settings
The System attribute group contains miscellaneous settings. Note that system.mode is not settable.
system.asense and system.amask control alarm output functionality.
