Powerlinc setup options

[Dable]

Just curious, what are the options "Poll Rate" and, "transmit delay" when setting up the Powerlinc interface?

I cannot find what these settings really do.

Thanks

As I have been searching the bb tonight I seem to find the same answer. There is'nt one so does any one know what these settings do

...modified from Smarthome Manager manual but I believe it is the same.


PowerLinc Poll Rate
This option controls how often Homeseer looks for incoming PLC signals from the PowerLinc Controller or PowerLinc USB. In most cases the default setting of 400 will result in receiving all the PLC signals. In homes with a heavy load of PLC signals some commands may be missed. Selecting a lower setting of 300 to 350 will usually solve missing commands. However, the lower the setting, the more time and resources will be spent on monitoring for activity from the interface. The performance of other tasks may be noticeably degraded.


Transmit Delay
This is the delay between sending PLC transmissions on the powerline. If the home has multiple coupler-repeaters or some of the receivers are missing PLC commands then increasing the delay between transmissions may help.

I have a powerlinc USB. How do you change the timimg. Is that a homeseer function or part of the firmware in the Powerlinc?
