Setting OSMAC G3 for Radio Communications

In order to send page commands to the OSMAC G3 controller, you must set and coordinate the satellite address
and the transmitting and receiving frequency with the radio system being used.
Satellite Address - Satellite address is the identification that is given to a particular satellite. In order to
communicate with individual satellites, each satellite is given a unique satellite address. When a page is sent
to that satellite address, only the intended satellite will respond and the other satellites will ignore the page
command.
