TDMA Configuration Settings

The TDMA Configuration panel contains controls for configuring and fine tuning TDMA performance. One side of the

radio link must be set as an Access point, and the other set as a Station. The Station inherits the other settings from

the AP, so the other fields are grayed out and not accessible when Station is selected.

Wireless Mode - Choose whether the device will act as an Access Point or a Station.

●

Wireless Protocol - TDMA is a deterministic protocol where each device is assigned a time slot during which it is

●

allowed to transmit.

Gender - Traffic Split - The radio can be configured to allocate bandwidth symmetrically (50/50) or biased

●

towards downstream (75/25) in environments where traffic direction is expected to be heavier in one direction

than the other. With an asymmetrical split, the local radio is represented first in the slash notation,

(local/remote). For example, in the (75/25) split, the local radio gets 75, while the remote radio gets 25. If

"Auto" is selected the radio will automatically determine, based upon traffic flow, which ratio will be used. The

radio will continue to evaluate the flow and adjust accordingly.

TDMA Window - Determines the length of the transmit time slot in milliseconds.
