3 Network Configuration

This section describes the different network profiles in a TI Wi-SUN FAN network. Like most wireless networks, Wi-SUN network also has control traffic (routing packets, neighbor discovery, link maintenance, and so forth), which helps form the network, determine routes for data packets and handle broken links. An increased control traffic implies that different protocol layers can have shorter timeouts, leading to a more responsive network. However, the protocol overhead from such control traffic also takes up air time, limiting the maximum available network capacity for application data traffic.

The TI Wi-SUN FAN solution defines three profiles which determine the amount of network control packet overhead. Each profile has a recommended configuration, which can be changed to accommodate for any additional requirements. The profiles are available as a quick selection using SysConfig. Table 3-1 gives a short overview of the difference between each network profile.

Table 3-1 LNT Network Configuration Options
Network Profile Configuration Brief
Maximize responsiveness Increased network control packet traffic owing to shorter protocol timeouts.
Balanced mode Balances network overhead and application traffic compared to other two profiles.
Maximize scalability Aims to minimize network control traffic per node to provide more overall network capacity at expense of decreased responsiveness per device.

SysConfig can be used to select the desired network profile based on Table 3-1. The change field for each profile can be found under the advanced settings tab, shown in Figure 3-1.
