4.4.1. High Noise
Note: This parameter does not apply to the LRS455A-C, LRS455A-CE, LRS455-T radios.
4.4.2. Hop Table Size
Important!: All radios in a network must have identical Hop Table settings.
Warning! FCC and ISED regulations require a minimum of separate frequency channels be
used within a hop pattern.

Table Size
Description
The Hop Table Size defines how many separate channels are used by a given
network.
FREEWAVE Recommends: Use the Frequency Zones instead of the
Hop Table Size setting.
4.4.3. Low Power Mode
Power consumption can be essential, especially for remote sites that are difficult to access.
Important!: The Low Power Mode parameter applies only to MultiPoint Slave radios.
Low Power Mode does NOT work with MultiPoint Repeaters because they are constantly
transmitting.
Low Power Mode
Setting Description
Default Setting (0) Disable
Options
l Any number between 0 and 31.
l The higher the number, the greater the power consumption decrease.
