(F) FRAME TIME MENU

This function changes the maximum length (in time) of each packet frame. If a frame was 8ms long,

then there is less data transferred per frame than would be transmitted in a 35ms size frame. The

throughput of data will decrease as the frame size decreases. The frame length also controls the data

latency. The factory default is 20ms. The 5ms frame time is only available in Point-to-Point Mode.

Figure 6-7 shows the frame size menu.

(B) DIRECTIONAL BIAS MENU

Also known as the Frame Bias. This function is for systems that require high throughput in a single

direction. For example audio, video and Internet applications. This option allows an air speed rate of

approximately 115kbps in one direction and approximately 9600bps in the other. Modems must be

configured so that they have complimentary (opposite) bias configurations. This is shown in Figure 6-9.

Figure 6-8 shows the menu that is displayed.
