However, be aware that by enabling the repeating feature, the
network throughput will drop by as much as one-half when
repeating occurs.
This parameter is only visible when the Ethernet Adapter is
configured as a Master. By default, Repeating is disabled. See
Chapter 3 for more information on Repeating.
The MAC Optimize parameter can help improve throughput for
small networks. The default setting of Auto allows the
RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter to determine the number of units
synchronized to it and to then adjust this parameter accordingly.
Alternately, you may force the parameter to one of the other
settings. If you have 0 or 1 wireless nodes communicating with
an Ethernet Adapter, use the Very Light setting. If you have
between 2 and 7 wireless nodes communicating with an Ethernet
Adapter at the same time, use Light. (You can have more than 7
nodes synchronized to an Ethernet Adapter but between 2 and 7
communicating at the same time for the Light parameter setting.)
In networks with more than 7 concurrent wireless users, use
Normal. The MAC Optimize parameter is visible only when the
Ethernet Adapter is set as a Master.
To conserve power, the RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter has an
Inactivity Timeout doze mode for the radio. The doze mode is
automatically engaged when a certain period of time has elapsed
since the unit has sent or received data over its radio. An
Ethernet Adapter in doze mode will wake up when a Master unit
attempts to send data to it.
There is no inactivity timeout set by default, but you may
change this to any interval of 10 seconds. This parameter is
visible only when the Ethernet Adapter is set as a Station.
