3.3.2.7 radio.repeat [0-10]
This item affects downstream data. The setting causes a Master or Extension to unconditionally repeat
transmissions for the specified number of times. Unlike the radio.retry behavior, there is no
acknowledgment that a message has been received.
The value represents the maximum number of times (0 to 10) that a Master or Extension radio will re-
transmit data. The default setting is 3.
3.3.2.8 radio.saf ["on" or "off"]
This item controls the operational state of Store-and-Forward (SAF) mode. The default setting is "off".
Store-and-Forward (SAF) offers a way to physically extend network range. Extension radios (designated
as radio.mode "x") serve as single-radio repeaters that link adjacent sub-networks, and move data from
one sub-network to the next one.
The radio.saf setting affects all radios in the associated network. When SAF is on, overall system
throughput is halved but does not reduce further regardless of store-and-forward depth.
When SAF is off, units programmed as radio.mode "x" behave as standard remotes.
The radio.saf value is set at the Master and is automatically passed on to all Remotes in a network.
3.3.2.9 radio.xpri [0-31 or 255]
The radio.xpri value is only meaningful for a Remote or Extension radio.
This item establishes a Primary Extended Address, specifying the primary radio with which this radio will
attempt to synchronize and communicate. Whenever the current radio attempts to establish sync, it will
limit its choice to the radio.xpri value for the first 30 seconds before allowing synchronization to other
units in the radio.xmap list.
NOTE
After the first 30 seconds the radio.xpri value is still always an implicitly allowed
synchronization source even if it is not called out in the radio.xmap list.
The default value for radio.xpri is 0 (matching the default xaddr). A setting of 255 represents "none" and
allows the unit to synchronize with any Master or Extension in the radio.xmap list.
3.3.2.10 radio.xmap [0x00000000-0xFFFFFFFF]
The radio.xmap value is only meaningful for a Remote or Extension radio.
radio.xmap is a 32-bit hexadecimal entry where the least significant bit represents xaddr 0 and the most
significant bit represents xaddr 31. The full 32-bit hex value represents the set of all 32 possible extension
addresses with which the radio could be allowed to communicate. A set bit means that synchronization to
that xaddr is allowed; a clear bit means not allowed.
This value defaults to 0x00000000 which means that the only allowed synchronization source is the one
specified by radio.xpri.
3.3.2.11 radio.skip [<8-element-array>]
This attribute indicates which combination of 8 possible frequencies zones should be removed from the
radio's hop sequence. Default is [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] meaning no zones are skipped.
