topology changes can occur that could potentially allow a shorter
path to be taken, i.e. a roaming or mobile application. Without route
refresh, the existing route which may not be the best or most reliable
link would continue to be used. The default value is 300 seconds.
Setting this parameter to zero will disable the route refresh operation
which will mean the existing route will never refresh other than on
module start up.

Route Timeout

(Sec)

Route Timeout

– is the time the route remains active from the last

time it was used. When the timeout expires, the route is deleted
from the unit which will mean the module will need to rediscover
what routes are available. Normally, this time should be greater
than the WIBMesh update time to a destination, so that the routes
will not time out, and remain active.

4.4.2 Neighbour RSSI configuration

RSSI values from neighbouring devices can be stored in register. Configuring is done
from this web page. The Neighbour RSSI values can be mapped to a register of your
choosing.

A maximum number of 100 neighbours can be configured and any analog register can
be used to store the value. The stored value will be a positive number between 40 and
120 which directly represents the Receive signal strength, e.g. a value of 72 would be -
72dBm

Note: Neighbour RSSI registers are only available when the module is configured
in

‘Meshing mode’.

To enable the Neighbour RSSI registers you will need to tick the check box and press
‘Save Changes’
