CONNECTION MANAGEMENT SCREEN
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:
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.
