Discover Nodes
This parameter when activated triggers the Base Station to poll the FAN with Node Missed Poll Count and
Node Registration Retry values.
Decommission Node
This parameter when activated resets the FAN registrations to remove the entire FAN from service.
Note: Take care using this option.
Broadcast Time
This parameter when activated sends the Base Station Date / Time setting to all the Remote and Repeater
Stations in the FAN and sets their Date / Time. This option applies to the Base Station only.
Automatic Route Rediscovery
This parameter enables the radio to transmit route discovery messages when packets are unacknowledged.
When enabled, unacknowledged unicast packets are converted into uni-broadcast messages and sent
through the network. All nodes see the message and populate their routing tables accordingly.
When the destination node is reached, it sends a route response message via the shortest path. The
intermediate nodes see this message and populate their routing tables in the reverse direction, thus re-
establishing the route.
The default setting is enabled.
RF Interface MAC address
This parameter is only applicable when the radio is part of a Protected Station.
This RF Interface MAC address is used to define the MAC address of the Protection Switch. This address is
entered into both Protected Station radios in the factory.
If a replacement Protection Switch is installed, the replacement unit MAC address must be entered in both
radios (see ‘Replacing a Faulty Protection Switch’ on page 34).
The Protection Switch RF Interface MAC address is shown on the Protection Switch label:
