Radio Setup Parameter Reference
This section contains the following information as it applies to the radio setup parameters that you can set for
the transceivers described in this document.
parameter name (as you see it in Tool Suite)
Web Parameter:
The name of the field as it appears in the configuration Web pages.
Network Type:
Point-to-Point, Point-to-MultiPoint, or Both
Default Setting:
The factory default setting for the parameter.
Options:
The options to which the parameter can be set.
Description:
A description of what the parameter is and how it applies to the transceiver in
your network.
The parameters are listed in alphabetical order by their Tool Suite field name.
Addressed Repeat
Note: This setting must match between the Gateway and all Repeaters.
Web Parameter:
Addressed Repeat in the MultiPoint Parameters section of the Radio Setup
page.
Network Type:
MultiPoint
Default Setting:
3
Options:
Any number between 0 and 9.
Description:
In a MultiPoint network where the Repeaters parameter is set to Disabled,
most packets from the Gateway are addressed to a specific MAC address.
This addressing allows the destination device to send an acknowledgement
back to the Gateway that the packet was received successfully.
The Addressed Repeat setting determines the maximum number of times the
Gateway repeats its data packet if it does not receive an acknowledgement
from the destination device. This repeat is a “smart” repeat—the Gateway only
repeats its data if it does not receive an acknowledgement.
Changing this setting to a higher number can increase the reliability of weaker
transceiver links while keeping the maximum possible throughput for that link.
In Endpoints, this setting determines how many times the Endpoint retries a
packet of addressed data before taking the action set in the Slave Connect
Odds parameter.
Broadcast Repeat
Note: This setting must match between the Gateway and all Repeaters.
Web Parameter:
Broadcast Repeat in the MultiPoint Parameters section of the Radio Setup
page.
