CONFIGURING RADIO
PARAMETERS
There are two primary data layers in the MDS entraNET network—
radio (RF) and data. The data layer is dependent on the radio layer to
work properly. The Radio Configuration Menu is the primary menu
used to set radio parameters. This screen includes the Skip Zone Options
Submenu.

•
RF Output Power
—(
We recommend that you review this setting.
)
This selection is used to set the RF output level of the trans-
ceiver. Settings are displayed in dBm, and must comply with
regulatory limitations for your area. (See
Table 2-1
for default
settings and range.) [
20-30; 30
]
•
Dwell Time
—Duration of one hop on a particular frequency in the
hopping pattern. This field is only changeable on an AP;
Remotes get their value from the AP upon association. Dwell
time is the same as hop time. [
7, 14, 28 msec; 14 msec
]
•
Contention Window Min
—Sets the number of random contention
slots to use on first attempt. [
0-15; 2
]
•
Contention Window Max
—Sets the maximum number of random
contention slots to use. [
0-15; 10
]
•
Broadcast Repeat Count
—Because broadcast messages are not
acknowledged, noisy environments may prevent some Remotes
from receiving a broadcast. This parameter sets the number of
times that point-to-multipoint messages are transmitted by the
AP. Higher values increase the reliability of communications,
but also increase over-the-air congestion. [
