•
Link-level Retries
—This parameter specifies the number of retries this radio should
send when a positive acknowledgement has not been received for a packet. Setting
this parameter too low will cause packets to be dropped unnecessarily in the presence
of temporary interference or other errors. Setting this parameter too high could cause
flooding of retries on the radio mesh when none will succeed, for example if the intended
receiver’s antenna breaks. The recommended value is 5.
•
Enable Analog Interference Detection
—This feature detects analog radio
interference with the 902-928 MHz frequency band, allowing the SpeedNet ME Radio
to temporarily avoid transmitting on frequency channels that have interference levels
above the average received in those channels.
•
Threshold
—This parameter determines the number of dB above the average signal in
a particular frequency channel that will cause the
Analog Interference Detection
function to start functioning to skip that channel in the hopping sequence. The default
value is 15 dB.
•
Enable Adaptive Transmit Power Mode
—(Reference only) This feature causes the
SpeedNet ME Radio to adjust the output power level to the minimum level required to
achieve a solid link. The output power level will vary between each radio link. When
this feature is enabled, the Transmit Power parameter will be replaced with “min” and
“max.” These options are used to determine the minimum and maximum output power
levels to be used when the
Adaptive Transmit Power Mode
setting is enabled.
•
Transmit Power
—This setting determines the maximum output power level to be
used for wireless transmissions by the SpeedNet ME Radio. Options are: 10 dBm,
20 dBm, 25 dBm, and 30 dBm. The default value is 30 dBm.
•
Apply
—Saves changes made to the wireless configuration. Changes will not be saved
if you change to a different configuration tab without first clicking the
Apply
button.
