Advanced: Click the Advanced button to view and change additional settings
for the radio. These settings control advanced features that are normally not
required for a typical radio network.
Advanced Settings

Radio Address: The software assigns a unique address to each radio in the
network after the radio is configured (The user cannot change this addressing
scheme - the address field is grayed-out).

Network Type: This is the network type configured on the Network
Properties dialog box.

Protocol: Choose the Protocol type from the dropdown list.

Timeout (chars): This value configures the length of time to look for gaps in
the data being received from the local attached device. The timer is activated
after the Minimum Packet Size has been accumulated in the radio, after
which, if the radio detects a gap in the data exceeding the Character Timeout
value, the radio will transmit the data. The radio will accumulate data in its
buffers until either
a) the number of bytes configured in the Maximum Packet size field has
been accumulated, or
b) the number of bytes configured in the Minimum Packet Size has been
accumulated
AND
the Character timeout has expired—whichever occurs first. If the Char
Time Out value is set to 0ms, the radio will buffer exactly the Minimum
Packet size and then transmit that data.

Min Packet (chars): This is the minimum packet size, in bytes. Use this
setting, and the one below, to adjust throughput and latency of data
transmission.

Max Packet (chars): This is the maximum packet size, in bytes. Use this
setting, and the one above, to adjust throughput and latency of data
transmission.
Note: In most cases, there should be no need to change these settings.

Transmit Power: This setting controls the output power in dBm (mW) to use.
You should ordinarily choose the minimum value that will maintain an
adequate system fade margin.
Important: Maximum output power for radios is controlled by regulatory agencies in the country in
which this radio will be operated. Do not choose a power level that exceeds the maximum allowed
for your country or region.

Retry Limit: When the Send Data To field is set to Broadcast, this field
specifies the number of times each RF transmission is sent for every packet.
When the Send Data To field is set to a specific radio ID, this value specifies
how many times radio packet should be retransmitted if it doesn't get through.

Use this radio as a Repeater: If this box is checked, the radio will be act as
a Repeater. If it is unchecked it will not.
