can be lost. Note - if this mode is used in a multipoint network, one remote that has lost link will shut down
the entire network if the base is trying to send it data.
LinkDropThreshold
- this is the number of consecutive beacons missed by a remote that causes the re-
mote to restart a link acquisition search. Please contact MURATA technical support before making
changes to the parameter.
P2PReplyTimeout
- this parameter sets the reply timeout for peer-to-peer messages sent from one node
to another. Because each leg of the journey from one node to another and back may take multiple trans-
mit attempts, the length of time to confirm receipt and issue a
TxDataReply
is subject to more variation
than a transmission directly between a base and a remote. When AckEnable is selected, the
P2PReply-
Timeout
parameter specifies the maximum number of hops or hop pairs that a remote will wait for a reply
from its recipient. If a reply returns sooner than the timeout, the remote will send a
TxDataReply
indicating
success (ACK) to its host as soon as it is received, and cancels the timeout. If a reply does not come back
before the timeout expires, the remote will send a
TxDataReply
to its host indicating failure (NAK). If
a reply should come back after the timeout expires the remote will ignore it, as a
TxDataReply
has al-
ready been sent. The units of this parameter are in hops for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint opera-
tion and in hop pairs for store-and-forward operation.
RegistryTimeout
- this parameter sets the number of hops without contact from a child device for which a
parent device will preserve the Transaction ID (TID) history for that child. The TID is used to filter out du-
plicate packets. After a registry timeout occurs, the TID history is discarded.
NumBaseParms
- this parameter controls the number of cycled parameters sent in the base station bea-
con. It must be left in its default value of 21 until all nodes in a DNT90E system have received all cycled
parameters and stored them locally in EEPROM. At this point the number of cycled parameters can be
set to 9, which will significantly speed up future system resynchronizations.
