User`s guide

The four other fields under Network Settings are described below.
Device Mode
This is how a radio is set to be a Base or a
Remote radio when either Point-to-Point or
Multipoint mode is selected for the type of
network. Only one radio in a network can be
the base.
Note: If Auto-Config is selected in the
Network setting field, ZNWizard will not let you
set the radio as a Base or Remote.
Network ID
The Network ID is a way to make sure that
the right two radios connect when there are
multiple networks of ZN-241Gs in the same
location. In fact, ZN-241G radios can ONLY
connect with other ZN-241Gs with the same
Network ID. The Network ID can be any
number between 1 and 65,534.
TX Timeout
When data is being sent to a ZN-241G by a
computer or other device, any time there is a
pause in the data as long as the time specified
by TX Timeout, the ZN-241G will transmit
whatever data it has already received. If there
is no pause in the data being sent to the ZN-
241G, the radio will wait until it has received
109 bytes of data before transmitting the data.
The default value of 5 milliseconds (5
thousandths of a second) should work for
most applications. This value can range from
5 to 255 (equal to a pause of about ¼
second).
TX Attempts
When data is sent wirelessly, it doesn’t always
go through on the first attempt. The ZN-241G
automatically retransmits the data when it
doesn’t go through. The ZN-241G will try the
number of times entered in TX Attempts.
Multipoint mode is a special case. In
multipoint mode, it isn’t possible for the base
to know if all of the remotes got the data. So
when the network type is Multipoint, every
batch of data transmitted will be sent TX
Attempt times, even if it was received by all of
the remotes on earlier attempts. The ZN-241G
automatically makes sure that regardless of
how many times the data was sent, it is sent
out the serial port only once.
