DNT24 Integration Guide – 03/04/15
NumSlots - this parameter sets the number of slots available for child transmissions following the parent’s
beacon transmission on a hop.
BaseSlotSize - this parameter set the maximum number of payload bytes that the base can send on a
single hop. The default value is 40 bytes.
SlotLease - this parameter set the number of hops a parent radio will reserve a slot for a child after
receiving a message from that child. Small values such as 2 are suited to short data bursts, and larger
values are generally a better choice when devices send a stream of non-continuous data across consecu-
tive hops. The minimum value is 1, assuring that a child can receive an ACK on the next hop after it
transmits.
BcstAttemptLimit - setting this parameter to 0 enables automatic broadcast message repeats based on
the ArqAttemptLimit parameter value. Setting this parameter to a value between 1 and 254 specifies the
number of broadcast message repeats independent of the ArqAttemptLimit. This parameter should not be
set to 0 if ArqAttemptLimit is set to 255.
ArqAttemptLimit - this sets the maximum number of attempts that will be made to send a message on the
RF link. Setting this parameter to the maximum value of 255 is a flag value indicating that there should be
no limit to the number of attempts to send each packet (infinite number of attempts). This mode is intend-
ed for point-to-point networks in serial data cable replacement applications where absolutely no packets
can be lost. Note - if this mode is used in a multipoint network, one remote that has lost link will shut down
the entire network if the base is trying to send it data.
LinkDropThreshold - this is the number of consecutive beacons missed by a remote that causes the
remote to restart a link acquisition search. Please contact RFM technical support before making changes
to the parameter.
P2PReplyTimeout - this parameter sets the reply timeout for peer-to-peer messages sent from one node
to another. Because each leg of the journey from one node to another and back may take multiple trans-
mit attempts, the length of time to confirm receipt and issue a TxDataReply is subject to more variation
than a transmission directly between a base and a remote. When AckEnable is selected, the P2PReply-
Timeout 
parameter specifies the maximum number of hops or hop pairs that a remote will wait for a reply
from its recipient. If a reply returns sooner than the timeout, the remote will send a TxDataReply indicating
success (ACK) to its host as soon as it is received, and cancels the timeout. If a reply does not come
back before the timeout expires, the remote will send a TxDataReply to its host indicating failure (NAK). If
a reply should come back after the timeout expires the remote will ignore it, as a TxDataReply has al-
ready been sent. The units of this parameter are in hops for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint opera-
tion and in hop pairs for store-and-forward operation.
RegistryTimeout - this parameter sets the number of hops without contact from a child device for which a
parent device will preserve the Transaction ID (TID) history for that child. The TID is used to filter out
duplicate packets. After a registry timeout occurs, the TID history is discarded.
NumBaseParms - this parameter controls the number of cycled parameters sent in the base station bea-
con. It must be left in its default value of 21 until all nodes in a DNT24 system have received all cycled
parameters and stored them locally in EEPROM. At this point the number of cycled parameters can be
set to 8, which will significantly speed up future system resynchronizations.
