a transceiver board will cause the boards to communicate briefly with
each other to establish which board will operate as the active board and
which operates as the stand-by. For more information, see “Transceiver
Board and Power Supply Assemblies” on Page 82.
2.3 Applications
The MDS 4790/9790 Series is designed for point-to-multipoint data
transmission in oil and gas pipeline communications, transactional sys-
tems and telecommunications systems. An MAS network provides com-
munications between a central host computer and remote terminal units
(RTUs) or other data collection devices. The operation of the radio
system is transparent to the computer equipment.
Basic MAS Master Station Operation
Figure 2 shows a typical point-to-multipoint system using an
MDS 4790/9790 Series master station. This is a basic system consisting
of a central master station and several associated remote units.

Repeater and Polling Remote Operation
An MAS system using repeater and polling-remote radios is shown in
Figure 3. Notice that the polling remote radio is operating in half-duplex
mode and the repeater is operating in full-duplex mode. Configuring the
radio for repeater operation can be as simple as typing
REPEATER ON
with a PC connected to the rear panel diagnostic port. (See “DIAGNOS-
TICS AND CONTROL” on Page 28 for details.)
