fact, the network administrator will only have to change the frequency of the Master unit to force all
the slaves to scan the air and reconnect to the Master with the same Mesh Cluster ID. Please make
sure that different point-to-multipoint cluster have different Mesh Cluster IDs or they will be
conflicting on the slave perspective leading to unpredictable network topologies.
Transmission Rate Selection: Each FM unit implements a proprietary data-rate selection algorithm
which is able to adapt to the specific radio channel conditions. Through this setting, it is possible
to force the rate selection algorithm to limit the modulation speed at a specific rate. This option might
be useful with unstable channel conditions.
Maximum TX Power: This setting controls the output power of the radio. By decreasing the output
power of a radio, you can decrease the overall E.I.R.P. By default, the radio transmission power is
controlled automatically by the innovative Fluidmesh Transmission Power Control (TPC) algorithm.
The Fluidmesh TPC algorithm tries to obtain an optimal link signal strength (about -55 dBm) on both
sides of the link while not exceeding the maximum TX power which can be set by the user
through the selector. Note that the maximum transmission power may vary depending on the
operating frequency channel of the radio.
