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).
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.
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.
Allow radio to Roam: Allows the radio to search the network for the next
available radio to send the information packet to.
