Mode

• By channel power - Auto connects to the base station if the signal strength

 

 

of the channel is sufficient for the WiMAX Device.

 

• By CINR - Auto connects to the base station if the signal-to-noise ratio is

 

sufficient for the WiMAX Device.

 

 

Enable

Select this to maintain connectivity while the WiMAX Device switches its

Handover

connection from one base station to another base station.

 

 

Enable MS

Select this to have the WiMAX Device enter the idle mode after it has no traffic

supports this before selecting this.

 

 

 

Idle Mode

Set the idle duration in minutes. This is how long the WiMAX Device waits during

Interval

periods of no activity before going into idle mode.

 

 

CINR & RSSI

Set the refresh interval in milliseconds for calculating the signal-to-noise

Refresh

measurement (CINR) and signal strength measurement (RSSI) of the WiMAX

Interval

Device.

 

 

 

LDRP (Low

Enter the Low Data Rate Protection (LDRP) time in milliseconds. If the uplink/

Data Rate

downlink data rate is smaller than the LDRP time, the WiMAX Device sends a

Protection)

disconnect request to the base station.

 

 

 

LDRP TX Rate

Enter the outgoing data rates for LDRP in bytes per second.

 

 

LDRP RX Rate

Enter the incoming data rates for LDRP in bytes per second.
