4. Universal Radio Socket Configuration
Before configuration you have to learn about the available radio channels, restrictions, and
recommendations in the Antilatency Radio Protocol
(https://developers.antilatency.com/Terms/Antilatency_Radio_Protocol_en.html).
Universal Radio Socket supports two operation modes: as client and as access point.
4.1. Access point properties
RadioChannel sets the specific channel that will be used. With it, you can select a less noisy
channel and assign different frequencies to different access points.
The default setting is -1. The access point will select the first available radio channel from those
available by default (see Antilatency Radio Protocol).
ConnLimit sets the maximum number of clients that can connect to this access point. A value of
0 completely shuts down the radio connection on the device.
We highly recommend setting this value to exactly match the number of the client devices
you will connect to the socket. The traffic is divided equally by the number specified in
ConnLimit. Therefore if you connect fewer devices, some of the traffic will be allocated
needlessly.
4.2. Client properties
ChannelsMask sets the channel mask for the client to search for an access point connection.
ChannelMask is a 141-symbol string (corresponding to the number of available channels) consisting
of 0's and 1's where 1 denotes that the respective channel will be used while searching for an access
point, while 0 means that the channel will be ignored. The string is a bit mask: the channels are
written in reverse sequence. The first symbol in the string is responsible for the last 140th channel,
the last symbol in the string is responsible for the 0th channel.
The default channel mask looks like this:
00000000000000000000100000100000000000000000000010000000000000000000000000100
0000000000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
For your convenience, there are aliases that you can also use:
• full – all channels can be used for searching;
• default – only the five default channels can be used for searching;
• N – only one channel is used to search, use the number of the channel instead of N.
The fewer active channels in the mask, the faster the access point search is.
MasterSN ensures that the client only connects to the specified access point.
If the value of the MasterSN property is empty, client-devices will connect to the nearest
access point. This is convenient for local tests or for using only one access point at a time.
Otherwise, you should set the MasterSN for each client.
