The default Local address number is 0 and the default Destination address
number is 255. If you are not using Transparent EOT, Transparent EOC or

Note: This Local=0/Destination=255 combination is the only selection that
works with receive-only rovers.
h. Transmit Settings
The Transmit Settings section of the Radio Link screen allows you to configure
three aspects of the radio’s transmitter: Transmitter Retries, TX ACL Timeout and
whether to set the radio to act as a repeater.
If you have selected Transparent EOT, Transparent EOC or Packet Switched
protocol on the Protocol Type field of the Serial Interface screen (see below),
the Transmit Retries and TX ACK Timeout fields appear in the Transmit
Settings box. These protocols call for the “rover” radio to transmit an
acknowledgement packet (“ACK”) for each packet that is correctly received from
the “base” radio. The base radio will retransmit the data packet a specified
number of times (the Transmit Retries value) if it does not receive the ACK
packet from the rover within a specified number of milliseconds (the TX ACK
Timeout value). This ensures 100% data transfer during periods of intermittent
interference.
If you have not selected Transparent EOT, Transparent EOC or Packet
Switched protocol on the Serial Interface screen, the Transmit Retries and TX
ACK Timeout fields are not displayed:
