Configuration Details

The protocol requires no further configuration. However, the size of the matrix can be configured.

Matrix Size

This value specifies the available number of targets. By default, this value is set to 4096. The maximum value allowed is 65535.

Known Issues

Because of the limited memory capacity of the base unit, the transfer of the labels don't work with crystal.
