Chapter 5: Configuration Channel Tab Important: âFastâ switch speed is most effective where coverage areas are largely overlapping. If the coverage areas barely overlap, have dead spots, or if the 8525/8530 frequently operates on the fringe of coverage, this parameter should be set to âSlowâ. Channel Selection Enabling âManual Selectâ allows you to set the channel search order the 8525/8530 will use if communication quality drops and channel switching is required.
Chapter 5: Configuration Channel Tab This feature is used rarely. It is used when the order of channel switching needs to be tightly controlled. The values in the âChannelâ column are completed for you with the enabled channels when this dialog box is opened. For each corresponding enabled channel, the âListâ column contains â0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0â values by default. If communication quality falls below 46%, only the channels entered in the Manual Switch Table are considered for channel switching.
Chapter 5: Configuration Protocol Tab 5.6.3 Protocol Tab Figure 5.35 Protocol Tab Enable Cellular Protocol The value assigned to this parameter must be identical to the value assigned to the corresponding parameter in the Psion Teklogix Network Controller, Wireless Gateway or Base Station.

Polling The default values for the Polling parameters are dependent on the value assigned to the Modulation / Baud Rate parameter in the Radio tab.
Chapter 5: Configuration Protocol Tab Poll Timeout This parameter (in units of 16.6 ms) sets the time-out value used for automatic channel switching. âPoll Timeoutâ is the time during which the 8525/8530 should detect at least one poll from a base station. As each âPoll Timeoutâ passes without a successful poll from the base station, the 8525/8530 channel quality decreases. If the channel quality falls to below 46%, the terminal begins searching for a new channel.
Chapter 5: Configuration Power Tab 5.6.4 Power Tab Figure 5.36 Power Tab Enable Power Saving When this parameter is checked, power saving is enabled. Idle Poll Limit Note: The âIdle Poll Limitâ parameter is only used when âEnable Power Savingâ is enabled. This parameter determines how many transmit opportunities â base station polls with available response windows â must be consecutively skipped before the 8525/8530 places the radio into power-down mode for power saving.
Chapter 5: Configuration Radio Tab Power Off Time This parameter determines the amount of time (in seconds) the 8525/8530 radio stays in power-down mode when a power down period has been initiated. âPower Off Timeâ is only used when the âEnable Power Savingâ parameter is enabled.
