Figure 12 Advanced Configuration Page
This page is used to set advanced configurations. A brief description of each parameter is given
below.
MAC Settings:
Routing Beacon Period: Controls how often routing beacons are sent to other radios. A
lower Routing Beacon Period results in faster reaction to topology changes. A lower
Routing Beacon Period also adds more overhead to the network which scales with the
number of nodes in the network. For larger networks, a larger Routing Beacon Period is
recommended. Default value is 100ms.
Fragmentation Threshold: Allows user to determine the minimum over-the-air packet
size in bytes. Smaller packet size can improve performance in high mobility while a
larger packet size will allow for more throughput. (1600 bytes default).
Maximum Ground Speed: This setting improves performance in high mobility
scenarios where the wireless channel may change rapidly. Setting this value to an
unnecessarily high value may have an impact as high as 25 percent on overall achievable
throughput.
