FGR2-PE Wirelss Data Transceiver
LUM0024AB Rev A
Description: Indicates the type of network the transceiver resides in. This selection and the
selection in the Modem Mode field, determine the operation mode of the
transceiver, for example, a Point-to-Point Gateway. For descriptions of each
network type and modem mode combination, see "Modem Mode" on page 58.
This field is hidden in the configuration Web page when Global Changes are
enabled. For more information, see "Using the MultiPoint Gateway to Change
All Connected Transceivers" on page 21.
Repeaters
Note: This parameter needs to be set in the Gateway radio only.
Web Parameter: Repeaters in the MultiPoint Parameters section of the Radio Setup page.
Network Type: MultiPoint
Default Setting: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Enabled
Description: In a MultiPoint network, it is critical to transmission timing to configure this
parameter correctly. Set to Disabled if there are no Repeaters in the network
and Enabled if any number of Repeaters exist in the network.
Many advanced features of the Plus-style transceiver are restricted in
networks where the Repeaters parameter is Enabled. For best operation,
FreeWave does not recommend the use of single-radio Repeaters.
Retry Timeout
Note: While intended primarily for MultiPoint networks, the Retry Time Out parameter
may also be modified in Point-to-Point networks. However, the value in Point-to-
Point mode should not be set to less than 151.
Web Parameter: Retry Timeout in the Transmission Characteristics section of the
Radio Setup page.
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: 255
Options: Any number between 0 and 255 in MultiPoint networks.
Any number between 151 and 255 in Point-to-Point networks.
Description: The Retry Time Out parameter in an Endpoint or Repeater sets the delay the
unit waits before dropping the connection to a Gateway or Repeater in
MultiPoint mode. The maximum setting means that if 1 packet in 255 is
received successfully by that transceiver, the link is maintained. The minimum
setting is 8, which allows an Endpoint or Repeater to drop a connection if less
than 1 in 8 consecutive packets is successfully received from the Gateway.
The function in the Gateway is effectively the same. With a setting of 255, the
Gateway allows an Endpoint or Repeater to stay connected as long as 1
packet in 255 is successfully received at the Gateway.
The Retry Time Out parameter is useful when a MultiPoint network has a
