Priority

DetermineswhoshouldbetherootoftheRSTP.TheRSTPdevicewiththe

lowestprioritybecomestheroot.Theacceptedstandardvalueforthisis

32768.IfwiredswitchesexistinthenetworkthatsupportRSTP,theyshould

alwaysbeallowedtobetheroot.

Setthisvalueto32769topreven

ttheradiofrombeingtherootoverawired

switch.UsethissettingwhenaradioisconfiguredtobeaMaster.

Setthisvalueto32770whentheradioisconfiguredtobeaRepeater.Inthis

way,ifonlyRLX2radiosexistinthenetwork,theMasterradiowi

Path Costs

RSTPandSTPalgorithmsuseacosttodeterminewhichconnectionsshould

beused.The"spanningtree"isformedbydeterminingtheleastcostpaths

fromanyRSTPdevicebacktotheroot.

Multiplemasterradioscanbedefinedonthesamenetwork.Ifonemasterradiogoes

down,anyradioslinkedtoitcanswitchovertotheothermaster,sothenetworked

radiosremainconnectedandtransmitting.Inordertoberedundant,thetwomasters

shouldtypicallybeonthesamesegment—inotherwor

ds,theyshouldbewired

togetherintothesameswitch.Thesetwomasterscanbeassigneddifferentchannelsto

increasenetworkbandwidth,buttheymustbeassignedthesameSSID.

Also,becauseallradiosarerepeaters,eachradiocanbeconfiguredtoreachamaster

radioviamultiplerepeaterpaths.Ifarepeatergoesdown

,thelinkedradioscanusea

differentpathtogetbacktoamasterradio.
