Slot width
CAUTION: The slot width must be the same for all members of the NET.
The Slot Width entry determines the width of response slots for each member of the
NET.
You can set the following:
• If you want all slot widths to match the width required for the largest self address
for a member of the NET, select Fixed.
A fixed slot width extends the time taken to complete the handshake
considerably.
• If you want the transceiver to calculate the slot width required for the response
from each station, select Variable.
NOTE: Unless required for interoperability reasons, the recommended
setting is Variable.
A member station calculates exactly how long after the initial call it has to wait before
sending its response given the slot width, whether LQA information is exchanged or
not during each slot, and the tune time.
