Setting Dynamic Polling Level (Base Station Only)

Dynamic polling improves system performance by reducing overhead due to idle remote units. A base station
automatically learns which remote stations are active and which are idle. The base station waits a brief time
period for a remote to respond to a poll. The remote either does not respond to the poll, or it responds with
a negative acknowledgement. The base then considers the remote to be idle. (This process is called dynamic
time allocation or DTA.) Idle remote units are ignored by the base station for the number of polling rounds
entered in the Dynamic Polling Level field. The higher the dynamic polling level, the more efficient the
throughput and the longer it takes to move a subscriber from an inactive state to an active state. Dynamic
Polling improves system performance whenever there is more than one remote. When there are a large
number of remotes system performance improves significantly.
Note: Polling level is set only at the base station.
