Chapter 3 - Layer 2 Command Set - PHY and MAC MINT (“mint” command)
Alvarion BreezeNET B130/B300 GigE 45 Operational User Manual
3.2.2.4 Setting Node Name
Syntax:
mint IFNAME -name NAME
The command sets the name for the node. Node name will be displayed in
"mint map" set of commands. Node name should not exceed 16 characters.
Spaces in the node name are accepted if put between quotation marks.
Example:
mint rf5.0 -name My_node
mint rf5.0 -name "Master Unit"
3.2.2.5 Switching to Marker Access Mode (Polling)
Syntax:
mint IFNAME poll {start [log] | stop}
The command turns on/off polling mode for the master station.
Polling mode is a method of accessing common radio channel under master
station control. Master station manages both its own and slave's transmission
sessions, so that they can avoid mutual collisions in the radio channel.
The polling mode is enabled on the master station only. Configuration of slave
unit needs not to be modified.
For fine tuning of polling regime there are three optional parameters which can be
set using the following syntax:
mint IFname poll start [mi=XX] [ub=XX] [mt=XX]
 MI - Marker Interval. The primary time unit used in calculating the marker
sending frequency. The approximate value is a half of the round-trip delay for
the interface. Values are given in milliseconds, starting from 41 ms.
 UB - Upper bound. Marker sending interval upper bound. This value provides
a minimal guaranteed marker sending frequency. This parameter is chosen
based on the compromise between the total number of markers loading up the
channel for no purpose and the response time for the first key pressed in
telnet program. The value is within 3 and 1000 ms. 70 ms by default.
 MT - Marker Timeout. The maximum waiting time for a client unit response to
a marker or data packet. Expressed in milliseconds; default value is 12 ms.
