After a selection is saved and return to the Radio Network Settings panel, notice
the selection is indicated under the Parent Link button.
The Automatic Parent Selection algorithm uses a calculation to create a cost for
each possible parent radio that it detects. The following graph describes how the
cost is calculated when the signal strength threshold is set to -60 dBm.
Once per second, the RLX2 radio evaluates the link it has to its parent to
determine if this link is the best parent to use. A cost is calculated for each entry
and can be seen in the column labeled "Cost" in the preceding table. The cost
calculation is based not only on the strongest signal, but on several other factors
to provide optimum network communication.
Prioritized Parent Selection
If more control is needed than the automatic algorithm allows, a priority list of
parents for the RLX2 radio can be defined.
