545C Operations Manual

TEXTL (Master Station operation only) – Text message packet size in

segments (default is 32 segments).

FLOODP (Master Station operation only) – Partial “flooding” precedence

level (default is A precedence). Messages of this precedence level and

above are transmitted over all routes of minimum length; messages below

this precedence are not sent over all minimum length routes, but are sent

only over the routes where the shortest transmit queues exist.

MBHOP – meteor burst link hop weight (default is 1 hop). Defines the

number of network hops to associate with a meteor burst Master Station

link when determining the minimum path to use in routing a message.

MBHOP should be set high enough to prevent a meteor burst Master Station

link to be chosen over a line-of-sight Remote to Remote link in a network

that is predominantly line-of-sight.

INF (Master Station operation only) – Infinity hop count (default is 8 hops).

Defines the width of the network in hops plus one to determine when

connectivity to a node is broken. Should be as low as possible to minimize

auto-connectivity traffic in the network, but large enough to not

erroneously flag nodes as being offline.

RELAY (Master Station operation only) – Relay function specification

(default is ON). Specifies whether the MCC-545C should act like a Remote

Station in terms of relay functionality (i.e., does not share connectivity

table with other Master Stations).

DATAP – Priority of data reports initiated at the MCC-545C (default is Y

precedence). When used in any data collection network, this setting

defines the precedence of data reports generated asynchronously by the

equipment itself. Typically, it should be lower than operator entered

messages and commands.
