6.0 Configuration
Retransmissions
This register determines the maximum amount of times that a
packet will be retransmitted (in addition to the initial transmission),
noting the following specific behaviors in various network
topologies:
In a PMP system, set
Retransmissions to the minimum
value required as, effectively, the
data throughput from Master to
Remotes is divided by 1 plus the
Retransmissions value.
PMP:
Master will retransmit each data packet the exact number of
times specified in the Retransmissions field; Remote will retransmit
only if necessary, and then only until a given packet is
acknowledged or the value of the
Remote’s Retransmissions field is
reached (after which it will discard the packet if retransmission not
successful).
*See also ‘PMP with ACK” described in the Network
Type (below).
PTP:
Phantom II will retransmit to its counterpart only if necessary,
and to a maximum number of the value specified in its
Retransmissions field. Packet is discarded if retransmissions are
not successful.

Network Type
Defines the type of RADIO network (see Section 5.0 for a detailed
description of network topologies).
ALL modems in a network must
have the SAME value for
Network Type.
In a point-to-multipoint (PMP) network, the Master broadcasts data
to all units, and all remote units send their data (ultimately) to the
Master.
A point-to-point (PTP) network involves a Master and a Remote
(with 0 or more Repeaters between them).
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) supports communication (through the Master)
between 2 (typically remote) units.
In an Everyone-to-Everyone (E2E) network, all units communicate
with all other units, through the Master. Note that this mode is very
bandwidth-intensive.
