Half Duplex Half Duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both
directions on a signal carrier, but not at the same time. For example, on a local area network
using a technology that has half duplex transmission, one workstation can send data on the
line and then immediately receive data on the line from the same direction in which data was
just transmitted.
MAC Address The Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) address is used to uniquely identify
the equipment on an Ethernet network.
IP Address Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet
protocols to uniquely this identify the unit on a network
Subnet Mask A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated based
on a network configuration. By organizing hosts into logical groups, subnetting can improve
network security and performance.
Gateway IP Address The IP address of a computer on the current network that acts as a
gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance / exit to packets from / to other networks.
Wireless Link Status As the attribute name suggests displays the current status of the OS-
Gemini wireless link. A state of ‘Up’ on a green background indicates that a Point-to-Point link
is established. A state of ‘Down’ on a red background indicates that the wireless link is not
established. If the link is down for an unknown reason the system administrator should first
consult the status webpage for a more detailed summary of the prevailing system diagnostics.
Target Modulation Mode The target modulation mode is used by the wireless subsystem to
control the adaptive modulation algorithm.
Remote Transmit Maximum Power The maximum transmit power the remote wireless unit is
permitted to use to sustain a link.
Transmit Power Transmit power histogram is expressed in dBm and presented as: max, mean,
min, and latest.
The histogram is calculated over a one hour period. If the equipment has been running for less
than one hour then the histogram is calculated over the current elapsed time.
Receive Power Receive power histogram is expressed in dBm and presented as: max, mean,
min, and latest.
The histogram is calculated over a one hour period. If the equipment has been running for less
than one hour then the histogram is calculated over the current elapsed time.
