Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for Mesh Routers 7-11
The Max Transmit Data Rate (in Kb/s) default is set to 6500. The range is from 100 to
6500 Kb/s. If you click Default, it will load the current default setting for the
Configurator. Click Apply when finished.
Receive (Rx) Threshold Parameter
From a single mesh unit connected to a mesh network, you can set the receive
threshold (given in dBm), for every mesh router in the network. The receive threshold
specifies the minimum acceptable receive level for a datagram (defined for signaling
rates of 11, 5.5, 2, and 1 Mb/s). Any datagrams received below these levels will be
discarded. This will provide better network stability for networks containing marginal
links, since link state changes (and the corresponding routing changes) will be avoided
for marginal links which are not capable of consistent communication.
By clicking the Defaults button, the values will go to their default values. If you enter a
value of 0 (zero), you are turning the receive threshold parameter off.
