Radio Settings Webpage Fields 
Power Level 

The transmitter power level desired in mW.  
By default this is set to maximum power of 1 Watt. 

Data Rate 

The  radio  baud  rate  in  bits  per  second  (bps).  Available  rates  are 

19200, 57600, 115200, 230400bps and auto. 
By default, this is set as auto. 

Fade Margin 

When automatic rate is selected, the 905U-E chooses a rate based on 

the  received  signal  strength  of  transmissions.  The  value  nominated 

by the Fade Margin, is subtracted from this average of RSSI and then 

used  to  decide  which  rate  to  transmit  at.  A  higher  value  in  Fade 

Margin will decrease the threshold in signal strength used to switch 

down rates.  
By default this is set to 10 dB. 

Dwell Time 

The  amount  of  time,  in  milliseconds,  the  905U-E  remains  on  a 

particular frequency whilst frequency hopping. This parameter may 

be modified in the event of severe interference to smaller periods of 

time. This also has an impact on the maximum size of Fragmentation 

Threshold that may be configured. 
By default this is set to 400 milliseconds. 

Beacon Period 

This interval is the period between beacon transmissions sent by an 

Access Point.  The Beacon Interval is also related to the scan period 

on a Station. ??Reassociation interval is ?? times the Beacon Interval 
Units will timeout after ?? times the Beacon Interval if no response 

is heard. 
Refer to ?? for more information. 
By default this is set to 20 seconds. 

Frequency Hopset 

If  configured  as  an  Access  Point,  the  unit  will  use  the  value 

nominated  in  Frequency  Hopset  to  select  which  pseudo-random 

frequency  hopping  sequence  to  use.  Clients  automatically  adujst 

their  Frequency  Hopset  to  synchronise  with  the  selected  Access 

Point. 
By default this is set to 0. 

Frequency Hop Pattern 

This  feature  is  not  implemented  in  the  beta  release. 

This  option 

allows  modifies  the  selected  hopset  pattern,  to  produce  a  larger 

number of effective hopsets.  
By default this is set to 0.
