Defaults can often be used for the other settings provided in the PakBus tab.
The default settings are shown in FIGURE
Beacon Interval Setting, in units of seconds, governs the rate at which the radio
will broadcast PakBus messages in order to discover any new PakBus
neighbo
u
ring nodes. For the router configuration, this is broadcast over RF;
otherwise it is broadcast on the wired port. It will also govern the default
verification interval if the value of the Verify Interval XXX setting is zero.
Verify Interval Setting specifies the interval, in units of seconds, that will be
reported as the link verification interval in the PakBus hello transaction
messages. It will indirectly govern the rate at which the radio will attempt to
start a hello transaction with a neighbo
u
r if no other communication has taken
place within the interval.
Central Router Setting specifies a PakBus address for a router that is able to
work as Central Router. By specifying this setting, the radio will be configured
as a Branch Router meaning that it will not be required to keep track of
neighbors of any routers except those in its own branch. Configured in this
fashion, the radio will ignore any neighbo
u
r lists received from addresses in
the central router setting and will forward any messages that it receives to the
central router if it does not have the destination address for those messages in
its routing table.

If the radio is being used in a point-to-point network (one base radio to one
remote radio) or in a PakBus network, where all of the settings in the radios are
identical, then the communications link can be depicted on the device map as a
direct connection (COM Port with datalogger or PakBus routing device
attached -- no radios shown in the device map). However, in a point-to-
multipoint network where all remote radios have a separate address, the radios
are depicted on the device map. (See FIGURE
