You can also set the # of UPB Transmits – the # of times a UPB
transmission is sent. This information is used to determine how many
times a UPB transmission is sent from the UPB Send page and from the
Trigger Event page. The recommended setting is 2, however if the UPB
network is experiencing lost commands, increasing this number will
improve the reliability by increasing the probability that a particular
command will get through. This can be set anywhere from 1 to 4.

Notice that there are two buttons labeled Home and Vacation. This tells
the Home Automation features of the RUC what mode you want to be in.
For example, you’re at home and there are certain programs you want to
run. Or, you’re on vacation and there are different programs you want to
run. So, normally, this would be set to Home, and you would only
change to Vacation when you leave for an extended period of time (not
just going to work).

You can adjust the parameters for both serial ports. However, there is a
checkbox at the top of each that, when checked, automatically sets the
parameters of each serial port to be compatible with UPB. If you check
this box, the parameters are automatically set to 4800, 8, None, 1, and
None. Then, the boxes are grayed out so that the user will know that
these settings are fixed and can’t be changed until the check box is
unchecked.

After making any changes, don’t forget to click the Save Config button.
