5.10 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What performance issues will arise due to environmental conditions?
A: WinLink 1000 is not sensitive to environmental conditions. However
if heavy rain or snowfall is expected ensure the performance by
allowing a higher fade margin in the link budget planning calculations.
Q: When using the WinLink 1000, what is the potential for interference
between our system and other cellular or wireless Networks devices?
A: The WinLink 1000 is a robust system. However since it operates in
unlicensed band there maybe some interference. Nevertheless, the fact
that we can manually set the frequency gives us the flexibility to find a
clear channel. In addition each WinLink 1000 link uses unique user
configurable SSID code.
Q: What protocol does the WinLink 1000 use, i.e. 802.11?
A: WinLink 1000 uses a proprietary protocol; this protocol contains
improved options that more efficiently support the clock
reconstruction from the TDM services.
Q: What type of security is offered on WinLink 1000?
A: WinLink 1000 has three levels of security:
1. AES hardware mechanism
2. Each unit uses a unique SSID link-specific code (up to 24
alphanumeric characters)
3. Proprietary protocol protects from eavesdropping from other
systems.
