Contention Slots
(a.k.a. Control Slots)
This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured by
the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots
for bandwidth requests. See
on page
Auto Contention
This parameter allows the operator to enable or disable Auto Contention.
Broadcast Repeat
Count
The default is 2 repeats (in addition to the original broadcast packet, for a
total of 3 packets sent for everyone needed), and is settable to 1 or 0
repeats (2 or 1 packets for every broadcast).
ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) is not present in downlink broadcast
packets, since it can cause unnecessary uplink traffic from every SM for each
broadcast packet. For successful transport without ARQ, the AP repeats
downlink broadcast packets. The SMs filter out all repeated broadcast
packets and, thus, do not transport further.
The default of 2 repeats is optimum for typical uses of the network as an
internet access system. In applications with heavy download broadcast such
as video distribution, overall throughput is significantly improved by setting
the repeat count to 1 or 0. This avoids flooding the downlink with repeat
broadcast packets.
Transmitter Power
This value represents the combined power of the AP’s two transmitters.
Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example
•
900 MHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz modules are available as connectorized
radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory
compliance.
The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to
•
maintain awareness of applicable regulations.
•
calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module.
