Network Parameters

User modifiable parameters are limited to the choice of MAC Address:

Factory MAC Address: This is the default MAC address which is guaranteed to be unique. Unless you have a very good reason to define your own MAC address, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you use the factory MAC address.

User Defined MAC Address : If you must define your own MAC address, you can enter it here. If you do not use a unique value, you may not be able to communi- cate to your wired network or you may disrupt other net- work devices. For this reason, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you use the factory MAC address. The MAC address is 12 hexadecimal digits. You do not need to use delimiters, but you can use spaces or the colon character.

RF Network Parameters

RF Network Parameters include:

Fragment Threshold: This parameter defines a thresh- old above which the RF packet will be split up or frag- mented. If a packet is fragmented or transmission of part of it is interfered with, only the portion that was unsuccessful would need to be re-sent. The throughput will generally be lower for fragmented packets since the fixed packet overhead consumes a higher portion of the RF bandwidth.
