Parameter

Description

 

parent at the earlier, shorter distance (or less) with good link quality. For example, if a mesh point

 

disconnects from a mesh parent 2 hops away and subsequently reconnects to a mesh parent 3 hops

 

away, then the mesh point continues to seek a connection to a mesh parent with both an acceptable

 

link quality and a distance of two hops or less, even if the more distant parent also has an acceptable

 

link quality.

 

 

Retry Limit

Indicates the number of times a mesh node can re-send a packet.

 

Default: 4 times. The range is 0– 15.

 

 

RTS Threshold

Defines the packet size sent by mesh nodes. Mesh nodes transmitting frames larger than this threshold

 

must issue request to send (RTS) and wait for other mesh nodes to respond with clear to send (CTS) to

 

begin transmission. This helps prevent mid-air collisions.

 

Default: 2,333 bytes. The range is 256– 2,346.
