Chapter 5: Configuration
Protocol Tab
radio communication when the unit is initially powered up. This prevents
several new terminals from attempting to communicate with the same
default terminal number at initial power up. Once the default value is
changed, it cannot be set back to ‘0’.
Polling
The default values for the Polling parameters are dependent on the value assigned to
the Modulation / Baud Rate parameter in the Radio tab.
Table 5.3 Polling Parameters
Sync Delay
Warning: This parameter should not be changed from its factory setting
without a clear understanding of radio protocol timing.
The Sync Delay parameter specifies the delay between the base station transmission
and the first response window, measured in milliseconds. The value assigned to this
parameter must be compatible with other terminals and base stations in the system.
The allowable range for this parameter is between 1 and 40.
Window Delay
Important: The value assigned to this parameter should not be changed from
the factory setting without a clear understanding of the timing of
the radio protocol.
This parameter specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) the 8525/8530 should
add to each response window in order to accommodate the receive/transmit
switching characteristics of the radio. The value assigned must be compatible with
other units and base stations in the system. The default setting of 19 is based on the
requirements of a 2 level modulation narrow band radio, operating at 9600 baud.
