• Unicast Retry Count—Sets the maximum number of attempts
made to deliver point-to-point messages. Higher values are
more reliable, but increase over-the-air congestion. [0-14; 10]
• Skip Zones (editable at AP only)—Displays the current use of fre-
quency zones. Each zone consists of 16 RF channels. See “Skip
Zones Menu” on Page 53 for details.

(“Commit changes” displayed only on AP—After a change is made)
Invisible place holder
This screen displays the current use of eight frequency operating
zones in the network. Zones can be toggled between Active and
Skipped at APs by first keying in the letter of the zone to be
changed, and then press to toggle between the two options
for each zone. The screen is read-only at Remote radios, and
Remotes must be synchronized to the AP to display valid status.
Skipping zones is one way of dealing with constant interference on
one or more frequencies. See “A Word About Radio Interference”
on Page 150 for more interference-combatting techniques.
When you have made the desired changes to the Skip Zones Menu,
select Commit Changes to implement the new settings. These
changes are forwarded to all radios in the network through the AP
beacon signal.
NOTE: In the U.S.A., up to four zones may be skipped for 900 MHz
systems, and a maximum of three skipped for 2.4 GHz
systems, per FCC regulations. The skip function may be
disabled in some radios, due to regulatory requirements in
some countries.
