Concept Guide

Parameter Description
each mesh node evaluates alternative links only if the existing
uplink falls below the configured threshold level (the link becomes
a sub-threshold link). The reselection process is canceled if the
average RSSI rises on the existing uplink rises above the configured
link threshold.
l reselect-any-time: Connected mesh nodes evaluate alternative
mesh links every 30 seconds. If a mesh node finds a better uplink,
the mesh node connects to the new parent to create an improved
path to the mesh portal.
l reselect-never: Connected mesh nodes do not evaluate other
mesh links to create an improved path to the mesh portal.
l subthreshold-only: Connected mesh nodes evaluate alternative
links only if the existing uplink becomes a sub-threshold link.
Retry Limit
Maximum number of times a mesh node can re-send a packet.
RTS Threshold
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.
