The TRANSMISSION_FLAGS parameter specifies the minimum number of flags inserted to produce idle time between transmitted frames.

Reviewers:

There seems to be a discrepancy between the range listed in the table and the range listed in the details. Is this correct?

A flag is the time it takes to send one byte, and represents a delay between frames. The values are 1, 3, 4, 6, and 10. Change this parameter to a value other than 1 if the device at the other end of the communication link can not receive frames with only one intervening flag.

This parameter is required. The default is 1 flag.
