Once per second the RLXIB-IHA radio evaluates the link it has to its parent to
determine if this link is the best parent to use. A cost is calculated for each entry
and can be seen in the column labeled "Cost" in the preceding table. The cost
calculation is based not only on the strongest signal, but on several other factors
to provide optimum network communication.
Prioritized Parent Selection
If you need more control than the automatic algorithm allows, you can also define
a priority list of parents for the IH Radio to choose.
Prioritized Parent by Branch Length
With Parent Branch Length, the IH will choose its parent strictly by the number
of repeaters between it and the Master radio. If Branch Length of 1 is chosen, the
IH will link only to the Master radio. If Branch Length of 2 is chosen, the IH will
link only to an IH that is linked to the Master radio, and so on.
