ENC-900 Operating Manual: Chapter 4 Configuration

S Register 123 - Remote RSSI Reading 

This register displays the average received signal strength in dBm over the 
previous four hop intervals. In repeater mode, this register is referring the 
RSSI from last received Remote radios. The value in this register is also 
reflected in status lines RSSI1,2 and 3.  

S Register 124 - Master RSSI Reading 

This register will only be used in repeater configuration and display the 
received signal strength from Master radio. 

S Register 213 - Packet Retry Limit 

Packet Retry Limit is analogous to Packet Retransmissions, but specifically 
applies to Remotes and Repeaters.  This parameter is not used by the 
Master.  Because the Remote has the advantage of receiving 
acknowledgements from the Master, it is not necessary to blindly retransmit 
each packet.  If the Remote does not get an acknowledgement on the next 
hop, it will retransmit its packet.  This will continue until the Packet Retry 
Limit is reached or an acknowledgement is received.  If the limit is reached, 
the modem will give up and discard the data.  Valid settings are 0 to 255 
retries.  The default value is 2. 

The Repeater makes use of this parameter when it is tuned to its Primary 
Hopping Pattern and is acting like a Remote.
