• Network ID: Network ID allows for clusters of radios to operate in the same channel, but
remain independent. A radio with a given Network ID will only communicate with other radios
with the same Network ID. The Network ID is limited to alphanumeric characters, spaces, and
the special character '-'. Character limit is 32 characters.
• Link Distance: Set to an approximate maximum distance between any two nodes in meters,
e.g., 5000 for 5km (default). It is important to set the link distance to allow enough time for
packets to propagate over the air. Failing to set the link distance to an approximate maximum
distance can result in over the air collisions and a degradation of performance. It is
recommended to set the link distance 10-15% greater than the actual maximum distance.
Please note that this value should be set the same on all radios in the network.
• Total Transmit Power: This defines the total power of the signal (power is divided equally
between the radio antenna ports). There is also an option to ‘Enable Max Power’ which will
allow the radio to push to the highest TX power it can support. This will be slightly different
on each radio.
• Routing Mode: It is recommended to use Large Network mode for networks larger than 40
nodes. Radios need to be in the same mode in order to communicate with each other. Large
Network mode requires a license and is not available outside USA.
• Apply: Apply the new values. Values will change back to the default setting after reboot.
• Save and Apply: Apply the new values and set the new values as the default.
