TS4000 Radio Modem User’s Manual AirNet Packet Protocol 33

These configuration options are set using the Packet General tab of the Modem

Configuration.

Selection Description

Enable Packet

Operation

This activates packet operation for all user data.

The type of Medium Access Control (MAC) determines how a modem decides

when to transmit packets. This effects the transmission of both data and

acknowledgment packets.

Selection Description

Master-Slave The modem will transmit data as soon as the channel

becomes idle. This mode should only be used for master-

slave systems where two modems will never attempt to

transmit at the same time. This also implies that store and

forward repeaters are not used in the system.

CSMA Carrier Sense Multiple Access. This mode should be

selected for systems where multiple modems may attempt

to transmit simultaneously. With this setting, the modem

waits until the channel becomes idle and then transmits in

each following idle slot based on a random probability of

transmission (see CSMA MAC Options - Transmission

Index). This minimizes the potential for collisions in multi-

access systems.
