Narrow Band Radio Parameters
Auto-Startup
This parameter enables ( √ ) polling immediately when the 9150 is rebooted.
If Auto-Startup is disabled, the 9150 will wait until polling is initialized from the
network controller.
Shared Channel
Shared Channel is only used in Holland to accommodate government requirements.
When enabled (
√ ), it imposes timing restrictions for polling. Every 2 seconds of
polling is followed by 0.5 seconds of silence—no polling occurs.
Further, if another carrier is detected on the channel, the 9150 will cease radio trans-
missions on that channel until the path is clear.
POLLING PROTOCOL PARAMETERS
Number of Poll Windows
This parameter defines the number of poll windows the 9150 will use. The value
assigned to this parameter is dependent on the number of terminals and the radio
link protocol used.
Table 5.1 on page 114 indicates how the value assigned to the Number of Poll
Windows parameter is determined.
