The Automatic Parent Selection algorithm uses a calculation to create a cost for each
possible parent radio that it detects. Once per second, the RLX2 radio evaluates the link
it has to its parent to determine if this link is the best parent to use. A cost is calculated
for each entry and can be seen in the column labeled “Cost” in the Available Parent web
screen. The cost calculation is based not only on the strongest signal, but on several
other factors including Number of Hops to provide optimum network communication.
Prioritized Parent Selection
If more control is needed than the automatic algorithm allows, a priority list of parents
for the RLX2 radio can be defined.
