Advanced Settings
Radio Address: The software assigns a unique address to each radio in the
network after the radio is configured (The user cannot change this addressing
scheme - the address field is grayed-out).
Device Network: Select the Device Network for this radio from the dropdown
list. Device Networks are defined on the Device Network Properties Dialog
Box (page 98).
Keep data packet together: Select (check) this check box to keep the data
packet together so that the information is complete. This is the default setting,
and is correct for most configurations.
Low latency mode: Select (check) this checkbox only if latency is an issue.
Both the transmitting and receiving radios need to have it selected. The Low
Latency Mode will work the best with slower baud rates and large messages.
Transmit Power: This setting controls the output power in dBm (mW) to use.
You should ordinarily choose the minimum value that will maintain an
adequate system fade margin.
Important: Maximum output power for radios is controlled by regulatory agencies in the country in
which this radio will be operated. Do not choose a power level that exceeds the maximum allowed
for your country or region.
Retry Limit (ms): The transmitting radio will re-send the data as many times
as set if there is an error in transmission. In normal transmission, the
receiving radio "acknowledges" that the data has been received with no
detected errors. If the transmitting radio does not get an acknowledgement, it
will re-transmit until the retry limit has been met.
Broadcast Repeats: Sets the number of times the radio will attempt to send
the data.
Allow radio to Roam: Allows the radio to search the network for the next
available radio to send the information packet to.
Use this radio as a Repeater: If this box is checked, the radio will be act as
a Repeater. If it is unchecked it will not.
Collision Handling: Select (check) this checkbox to turn on collision
handling. All radios in the network should be set the same, either on or off.
Collision Handling is not necessary for:
o
A single point to point device network
o
A single master slave device network
o
Any other situation where normally only one device is transmitting at a
time
Collision Handling may be necessary if:
o
Multiple independent device networks are connected to a single radio
network
o
The devices use a peer-to-peer asynchronous protocol
o
Any other situation where multiple devices are regularly transmitting
simultaneously
