Transmit Power
This option sets the transmit power of the radio. A setting of 10 is approximately 1W of output
power from the radio.

Retry Time Out
The Retry Time Out parameter in an Endpoint or Repeater sets the delay the unit will wait before dropping the connection to a Gateway or Repeater in Multipoint mode. The factory default
is set at the maximum of 255. The maximum setting means that if 1 packet in 255 is sent successfully from the Gateway to the Endpoint or Repeater, the link will be maintained. The minimum setting is 8. This allows an Endpoint or Repeater to drop a connection if less than 1 in 8
consecutive packets is successfully received from the Gateway.
The function in the Gateway is effectively the same. With a setting of 255, the Gateway will
allow an Endpoint or Repeater to stay connected as long as 1 packet in 255 is successfully received at the Gateway.
The Retry Time Out parameter is useful when a Multipoint network has a roving Gateway or
Endpoint(s). As the link gets weaker, a lower setting will allow a poor link to break in search of
a stronger one.
Note: Setting Retry Time Out to 20 is recommended in areas where several FreeWave networks exist. This setting will allow Endpoints and Repeaters to drop the connection if
the link becomes too weak, while at the same time prevent errant disconnects due to interference from neighboring networks.
