Peer-to-Peer Capability

Peer to Peer capability is available in Packet w/MAC mode only. It
allows Remote radios in the same radio network to pass data directly
between each other. When the Peer-to-Peer functionality is enabled on
the Remote, both the Remote and the AP will be able to pass data in the
system. The AP will route data to and from the enabled peers without
disrupting AP-to-Remote specific communications.

Frequency Re-use (System ID)

Frequency Re-use is possible in some applications. SysID (or System ID
as it is referred to in the Device Manager) offers approximately 20 dB
of additional co-channel isolation when operating networks on the same
frequency (see Page 45 for detailed information). Note that proper
system design is required. SysID offers nine unique choices including
the default value of
NONE
work must use the same value.
To use this feature, a network must consist of all SDx radios. This fea-
ture is applicable only on digital modems (B modems are excluded).
Note that this feature does not affect adjacent channel performance, but
only co-channel performance.

2.3 SD Model Offerings

The radio is offered in three model types, using one hardware platform:
• Ethernet (ES)—All SD features and functionality
• Standard (SS)—All SD features, except over-the-air Ethernet
data
• x710 (MS)—Direct, drop-in compatibility for networks using a
mix of SD and older MDS x710 radios
The unit's model number is printed on the bottom label. Additional unit
details are available through the Device Manager, described later in this
manual.

2.4 Operating Modes and Applicable Manuals

In addition to the model offerings above, the radio may be configured to
operate in any of the following modes:
