Some devices device modes and options can significantly affect the link's stability and throughput.

Polling

In case that the MINT software version is installed on the devices, make sure that the "Polling" mode is enabled. This mode improves the efficiency of the radio medium usage efficiency and avoids collisions. In addition, to improve the wireless system efficiency, we recommend updating to the software with version having support for the TDMA technology support. A detailed description and the benefits of each software versions version can be found in the "TDMA and Polling: Application features" article.

Greenfield

The "Greenfield" mode allows to reduce the frame preamble during transmitting transmission over a wireless connection, this increases a increasing the link performance by 10-15%.

...

To keep a balance between a the wireless link's performance and a the retries number, we recommend always to set the "Bitrate" parameter to "Auto" mode. Also set up automatic transmit power control (ATPC) in order to increase the devices operational life of the devices.

Frame size

If the device has a software version with TDMA technology support, make sure that the used frame size ensure ensures the best performance from for your wireless system. A short frame allows to will transmit less payload than a long one, however it also ensures a smaller delay. A detailed description of the frames sizes in the TDMA technology is available in the "TDMA and Polling: Application features" article.

...

Packet retries management

The "Turbo" and "SCS" modes are available in the TDMA software version, which allow to increase the wireless link throughput in case that the degradation is caused by a large number of errors in the radio.

Detailed information about the radio parameters parameter configuration via the web interface is available in the "Link Settings" article and in the "InfiLINK 2x2 / InfiMAN 2x2: Initial Link Configuration and Installation" , or via CLI in the articles: "mint command (TDMA version)"/"mint command (MINT version)" и and "rfconfig command (TDMA version)"/"rfconfig command (MINT version)".
