Link configuring The chapter contains basic recommendations for making preliminary choices and decisions while planning and deploying a wireless network based on InfiNet Wireless Devices. It also describes a set of tools that can help while improving the link quality and statistics gathering.
Page 8: Supplementary Information
Autobitrate mechanism is an optional powerful feature that provides link reliability in case of changing conditions on the path of the link. The data network built on InfiNet Wireless products is implemented as a routed and switched IP network which reduces flooding and broadcast messages specific to bridged networks and to implementation of Quality-of-Service (QoS) features set.

VII. Recommendations 1. Using InfiNet devices for High Bitrates Using InfiNet devices on bitrates 48 and 54 Mbps (standard series), 104…130 Mbps (Xm-series, 20 MHz) and 240…300 Mbps (Xm-series, 40 MHz) has specific requirements because of low noise immunity of high-order modulation techniques (64 QAM).
Page 85: Bad Subscriber» Problem
“bad subscriber”. 5. TDM transmission InfiNet Wireless equipment allows E1/T1 flows transmission via the radio channel in Point-to-Point topology. The System ensures transmission of 4 TDM channels and 45 Mbps Ethernet data simultaneously. Moreover, IW devices with TDM support allow Multi-hop TDM transmission when E1/T1 data are sent via several wireless Point-to-Point hops.
