the table gives only qualitative indication of savings of supply current. Set this

setting to empirically, considering that a low number reduces latency, and a high

number reduces current consumption.

Setting Description

0 Low-power disabled

1 LEDs dimmed, transceiver remains awake

2 LEDs dimmed, transceiver sleeps every other

slot

3 LEDs dimmed, transceiver sleeps 2 of 3 slots

4-63 LEDs dimmed, transceiver sleeps number of

slots corresponding to setting. For example, with

a setting of 63 the transceiver is sleeping during

62 of the slots.

(A) High Noise

Use this menu to indicate if the modem will be operated in an environment with a

high degree of radio noise and interference.

With a setting of 1, the rejection of interference is improved, at the cost of reduced

range and/or throughput.

(B) MCU speed

Use this menu to set the speed of the processor (Micro Controller Unit) in the

Modem.

Setting Description Notes

0 Low Speed Reduces current consumption

1 High Speed Required for 230 Kbaud Data Port rate

The default is 0 (low speed).
