Accessible from the Main Menu, the Connection Management Screen
allows you to select from nine Quality of Service (QoS) quick connect
buttons. Each button can be customized using the
Details
link on the
Connection Management Screen. The customization parameters for
each button are as follows:
Connection Management Screen
Transmit Rate and Receive Connection Rate: Allows you to select the
transmit and receive rates from the list of bandwidth values.
Multimedia Control: Allows you to enable or disable Automatic Repeat-
reQuest (ARQ) over the satellite. Typically, ARQ--an error control
protocol for data transmission–-is best disabled for voice or video traffic.
Fixed Rate Control: Allows you to enable or disable fixed rate service
over the satellite. You can force the connection to match the
requested QoS. If
disabled
, the best streaming rate possible -- up to and
including the selected rate -- will be allowed. If
enabled
, the terminal will
not set up a connection unless the requested rate is available from the
network.
