Ad hoc system operation is accomplished with the following
group of variables.
Table 3.11 - Ad Hoc Keywords
Keywords Value Description
JOINNETTO 0 – 0xFFFF Optional – determines the amount of
time that an ad hoc station will scan
before starting its own network
(default is 10,000 Kµsec [10 sec]).
BEACONPERIOD 0 – 0xFFFF Optional – specifies the beaconing
interval in Kµsec. (default is 100
Kµsec).
DSCHANNEL 0-14 Optional – this parameter is valid
only for a node that starts a network.
This is the channel identifier specify-
ing the frequency to communicate
on. For all other nodes, the radio will
scan for the proper frequency.
Default is 0, which will cause the
radio to pick a default channel
appropriate for its programmed
carrier set. Any other value (1-14)
will be validated against the
programmed carrier set and rejected
if invalid.
ATIMDURATION Between 0 and
less than the
beacon interval
Ad hoc only – specifies the length of
time for ATIMs following a beacon
(this value must be non-zero for PSP
ad hoc operation) (default is 5).
This value is only used when start-
ing a new network. When joining a
network, the value currently in use
will be adopted.
