Contention Settings
These are bandwidth management selectors. These selections allow the user to tune the device parameters based on
the desired network operation. Selections toward the left favor minimum latency and maximum throughput; selections
toward the right favor minimum congestion and maximum reliability. You may select from the numerical values
offered, or select Custom and enter any whole-number values within the range shown.
Data Retries
When data retries are enabled, the receiving Viper will reply with a very short RF acknowledge message each time
a unicast data packet is received correctly. The RF acknowledge allows the transmitting Viper to Verify that the
packet was received successfully. This does, however, add a small amount of latency to each packet, reducing
overall throughput. If the transmitting Viper does not receive an RF acknowledge, it will retransmit the message
again up to the maximum number of data retries specified.
