NETWORK
Node Registration Retry (sec)
This parameter sets the base station poll time at startup or the remote / repeater station time between
retries until registered. The default setting is 10 seconds.
Base Station Announcement Period (min)
This parameter sets the period between base station polls post startup. The default setting is 1440
minutes (24 hours).
When a new base station powers on, it announces its presence and each remote that receives the
announcement message will be advised that a new base station is present and that they should re-register.
This allows the new base station to populate its Network Table, with knowledge of the nodes in the
network.
If, during this initial period, there is some temporary path disturbance to one or more remotes, they may
miss the initial announcement messages and be left unaware of the base station change. For this reason,
the base station must periodically send out announcement messages to pick up any stray nodes and the
period of these messages is the base station Announcement Period.
Setting this parameter to 0 will stop periodic announcement messages being transmitted.
If a critical parameter is changed in the base station, such as IP address, then the change is distributed to
the network using base station announcement message. Note that in this case, an announcement is sent
immediately independent of the Announcement Period setting.
