Retry Time Out (Menu Option 8)
The Retry Time Out parameter allows the user to determine when a slave will drop a
connection to a master or repeater in multipoint mode. The default setting is 255,
meaning that if one packet in 255 from the master is sent successfully to the slave it will
maintain a link. The lowest setting is 8, at which a slave will drop a connection much
more quickly.
The Retry Time Out parameter is useful when a multipoint system is used with a moving
master or slaves. As the link gets weaker, a lower setting will allow a transceiver to more
quickly drop the weak link and search for a stronger connection.
While intended primarily for multipoint systems, the Retry Time Out parameter may also
be modified in point-to-point systems. In point-to-point mode the Retry Time Out should
not be set to a value of less than 151.
Lowpower Mode (Menu Option 9)
The Lowpower Mode is an option that, when enabled, allows the transceiver to function
as a multipoint slave while consuming less power. With a setting of 1 Lowpower Mode
saves current consumption primarily by dimming the transceiver's LEDs.
Note that the Navigator IIm
ONLY
supports settings of 0 or 1 for Lowpower Mode.
High Noise (Menu Option A)
Use this menu to indicate if the transceiver will be operated in an environment with a
high degree of radio noise and interference. With a setting of 1, the rejection of
interference is improved, at the cost of reduced range and/or throughput.
MCU speed (Menu Option B)
Use this menu to set the speed of the processor (Micro Controller Unit) in the transceiver
default setting, and the
ONLY
supported setting is 0 (low speed).
RemoteLED (Menu Option C)
For LED status to be displayed on the Navigator IIm front panel, this option
MUST
be
set to 1. If set to 0, the transceiver will still operate but no status will be displayed.
