CONNECTION MANAGEMENT SCREEN

Accessible from the Main Menu, the Connection Management Screen

allows you to select Quality of Service (QoS) parameters separately for

transmit and receive data. Note that the “384Kbps” selection requires

an external antenna.

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.

Remember to click Apply to save any changes or they will be lost.
