Max SUs Represents the maximum number of SUs that can register with a BSU.
Given below are the base stations and the maximum number of subscribers supported by
each of them:
: Applicable only to the BSU.
WORP MTU WORP MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is the largest size of the data payload in wireless
frame that can be transmitted. The MTU size can range from 350 to 3808 bytes for High
throughput modes and 350 to 2304 bytes for legacy mode. The default and maximum
value of the WORP MTU is 3808 bytes for higher throughput and 2304 bytes for legacy
mode.
Super Framing Super Framing refers to the mechanism that enables multiple Ethernet/802.3 frames to be
packed in a single WORP data frame. When the WORP MTU size is configured larger than
the Ethernet frame size, then WORP constructs a super frame with size of the WORP MTU
configured and pack multiple Ethernet frames. It results in reducing the number of frames
transmitted over wireless medium thereby conserving wireless medium and increasing the
overall throughput. By default, it is enabled.
Sleep Mode A BSU can put SUs in sleep mode when there is no data transmission during the past 15
seconds. This reduces the traffic congestion in the wireless medium and preserves the
wireless bandwidth for other SUs in the network. BSU polls sleeping SUs once in every 4
seconds to maintain the wireless connection. By default, it is disabled.
