Fragment Size, Settings for both options are | Intermec 6710

SECTION 4 " Configuration

Settings for both options are:

Default 1 3 7

The default setting is Default. You can do the following:

"Reduce the number of slots on lightly-loaded networks to increase throughput.

"Increase the number to help prevent repeated collisions under a heavy load.

You can set Fairness Slot as follows:

"Increase the number to prioritize the channel access for nodes that have been waiting the longest to access the channel.

"Decrease the number to minimize initial back-off delays.

Fragment Size

Fragment Size determines the maximum size of a fragment to be sent over this radio during interference. The prompt is:

Range is: 1..1540

The default is 310.

If two ACK errors occur in a row during the transmission of a large data frame, it splits into two or more fragments and each fragment transmits separately. An ACK error occurs if a acknowledgment frame is not received from the destination node.
