Single and Multi- Point
Addressing
An NL6000 can be configured to transmit to a single unit,
a group of units, or to broadcast to all units within range.
Acknowledgement
The
NL6000
can
be
configured
to
request
an
acknowledgement (ACK) from the destination modem
with each transmission. If it does not receive an ACK,
the unit can retransmit a specified number of times.
Auto-Transmit
The NL6000 will automatically trigger transmission of data
over the RF link: The NL6000 will wait for characters to
arrive via the serial port in order to completely fill a
packet size as defined under Network/Max Packet Size
before transmitting. The typical default setting for TX
CHAR TIMEOUT is 100 and MAX PACKET SIZE is 300.
This will give you a reasonable response time between
serial data arrival and transmitting data. The MAX
PACKET SIZE should be set based on your applications
typical maximum packet size.
Configuration Templates
The NL6000 software allows you to save a configuration
as a template and download the parameters in that
template to other units that share the same configuration.
This saves time when configuring a large network. Care
should be taken in maintaining the Diagnostics
configuration settings. These settings are normally
factory set using radio test equipment and are unique to
each NL6000 radio
