tings are discussed is this section.

the system.

(1) Master Packet Repeat

•Available options (0-9), the larger the number the more likely a packet is to be received, but the latency is in-

creased.

(2) Max Slave Retry

•The number of times a slave will attempt to send a packet to the master unit, before the remote/slave unit will

wait for a time based on the retry odds setting.

(3) Retry Odds

•The probability of retransmitting, a higher value will have the remote unit more likely to establish a connection

with the master over a remote unit with a lower value.
