Psion Teklogix 8525/8530 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
Important: “Fast” switch speed is most effective where coverage areas are
largely overlapping. If the coverage areas barely overlap, have
dead spots, or if the 8525/8530 frequently operates on the fringe
of coverage, this parameter should be set to “Slow”.
Channel Selection
Enabling “Manual Select” allows you to set the channel search order the 8525/8530
will use if communication quality drops and channel switching is required. If this
parameter is enabled, the 8525/8530 uses the channel switching lists specified in the
Manual Switch Table. If this parameter is disabled (unchecked), the vehicle-mount
uses a standard algorithm to decide which channel it should switch to in the event of
poor channel quality.
Warning: It is not recommended that the "Manual Select" parameter be used
without a clear understanding of how to order the channel
sequences for optimum performance.
