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

The value is an integer in the range 1–10 flags.

This parameter is optional. The default is 1 flag.

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 when you know the device at the other end of the communication link can not receive frames with only one intervening flag.
