Smart Repeater The smart repeater utilizes bi-directional communication with the Central Monitoring Station, for sending events efficiently. The repeater requires no external software for its operation. It operates in dual-mode as a multichannel repeater, i.e., it can receive the event in one channel (e.g. Radio) and transmit it via a various media (e.g. telephone) and vice versa. The most common application is Radio-to-Radio repeater with a telephone or the network as a backup. The CMS acknowledges each event sent by the Repeater. Messages are re-sent if an '500 events or event timeout limit, until 'Acknowledge' is received from the CMS. 

This sequence guarantees the following: 6 Sentinel & PimaGuard Installation Guide A. Transmission time is extremely fast as each transmission is consisted of one frame (contrary to transmission of 10 frames by customer’s transmitter), thus saving air time. When confirmation is not received, the Repeater continues to transmit the event until it is acknowledged. While retransmitting an event, new incoming events are stored in the buffer. B. Continuous bi-directional monitoring identifies failures in communication and events to the monitoring station.
