3.10 Advanced Radio Configuration

Some of the more advanced radio settings have been moved from the normal Radio configuration page in order to
simplify the configuration process. Care should be taken when making changes to parameters on this page.

Figure 39 Advanced Radio

TX Antenna

Select the antenna port that the module will use for transmissions:

Main Port Only—Messages are transmitted from the main TX/RX port. The auxiliary
port RX is disabled.

Both (Diversity)—Both ports will be used to transmit, but not at the same time.
The module calculates the best port based on previous transmissions and MAC
addressing.

NOTE Broadcast / UDP transmission messages will initially toggle between

the antenna ports, and could result in every second message not being
heard until the module learns which device can be reached through which
antenna port.

Aux Port Only—Messages will be transmitted via the auxiliary RX port only.

RX Antenna

Same as for TX antenna above, but for the receiver port. Setting to “Both (Diversity)”
will allow a high gain antenna to be connected to the auxiliary RX port, which will
give better RX signal gain without increasing the TX gain and possibly pushing it over
the regulatory EIRP threshold.

DTIM Period)

(Access point only.) DTIM sets which beacon frames incorporate extra information for
low power sleeping client devices. Normally set this to 1.

RTS Threshold

Ready To Send threshold. RTS frames can be used to help avoid radio collisions
between two stations that cannot directly hear each other. Any frame larger than the
RTS threshold bytes will be preceded by an RTS message. The default value of RTS
threshold is 2346, which effectively disables RTS signaling, since this value is larger
than the maximum frame size (fragmentation threshold).

Fragmentation
Threshold

(Client stations only.) The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of data over the radio. If
more than this number of bytes is input into the module, it will be transmitted in more
than one message (fragmented).
