S_RSSI Setting
S_RSSI Setting
Please make sure to configure the S_RSSI setting before programming your repeater.
After turning on the repeater, connect the RS-232 cable to your PC. Please be sure to run
the program "Read Repeater RSSI" within 3 minutes. After you requested number of times
for reading, you’ll get the average offset value of the repeater.
For example, you put “50” in Read RSSI(s), then the software will read the RSSI value for 50
times and get the average offset value. If the average offset value is 76, then add 10. The
S_RSSI value for programming will be 86.

Repeater Programming
Introduction
Please follow the below steps for programming Repeater：
1. Connect Repeater to a PC
2. Identify the COM Port that is being connected to.
♦ If you are using a Serial Port as your connection to the PC, please make sure it is
connected to COM1 or COM2.
♦ If you are using a USB-to-Serial connection and have installed the driver for
USB-to-Serial connection, the 「Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port」 will appear
under Ports (COM&LPT). The following screen gives an example of the systems
Repeater Programming
detects a USB-to-Serial connection is being connected to COM3. It appears
Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM3).
♦ If 「Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port」 does not appear, please refer to the
instruction for installation on USB connection.

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
Repeater Programming
The signals will only repeat for the capcodes within this range.
Command Address
To set the layer for Multi-layer repeating.
Delay
Delay #1
To set the time delay for repeating after receiving a signal. The unit is based on
250ms. For example, if you would like to delay the repeating for 1 second, then
enter “4”.

Layer
S_RSSI
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
Repeater Programming
To set the capcode for Multi-layer repeating. Enter “0” for single layer and “1~7”
for multi-layer repeating.
For multi-layer repeating, “1” means the first layer is the master repeater. Only
the master repeater can receive signals from the transmitter. Then it will repeat
the signals to the next layer “2” and so on.
Note: after rebooting your repeater, the TX LED will flash according to the
number of the layers of the repeater.
S_RSSI
It will trigger repeating when the RSSI is below this value. Please refer to pager 6
for instructions on how to set the S_RSSI value.
