It is important to allow many industrial protocols to communicate properly over
the RLX2 radios. The standard 802.11 AP operation for transmitting broadcast
messages is to accumulate them and transmit them only on specific time
intervals. This allows clients that are in power-save mode to wake up at the
synchronized time interval and receive the broadcast packets. However, the
power-save mode is rarely used in industrial networks.
Additionally, many industrial protocols utilize multicast traffic, which is sent as
broadcast messages over the wireless network. By enabling immediate
broadcasting, these multicast messages are not delayed by the wait for the next
time interval to occur before they can be transmitted. This results in improved
network performance.
The settings on this form also allow the configuration of the transmission rate and
broadcast mode to optimize this radio's use on an industrial network.
