# Common errors in configuration⁣⁣⁣⁣

Some device modes and options can significantly affect the link's stability and throughput.

### Autobitrate and ATPC <a href="#commonerrorsinconfiguration-autobitrateandatpc" id="commonerrorsinconfiguration-autobitrateandatpc"></a>

To keep a balance between the wireless link's performance and the retries number, we recommend to always set the "Bitrate" parameter to "Auto" mode. Also enable the automatic transmit power control (ATPC) in order to increase the operational life of the devices.

### Frame size <a href="#commonerrorsinconfiguration-framesize" id="commonerrorsinconfiguration-framesize"></a>

Make sure that the selected frame size ensures the best performance for your wireless system. A short frame will transmit less payload than a long one, however it ensures a smaller delay.

### Packet retries management <a href="#commonerrorsinconfiguration-packetretriesmanagement" id="commonerrorsinconfiguration-packetretriesmanagement"></a>

The "Turbo" mode is available in the TDMA software version, which allow to increase the wireless link throughput in case that the degradation is caused by a large number of errors in the radio.

Detailed information about the radio parameter configuration via the web interface is available in the "Link⁣ ⁣Settings⁣" article or via CLI in the "mint command" article.
