Network Mode
The multipoint system has two MAC layer operating modes:
Polling MAC: Polling MAC is superior when the application case involves heavy traffic. Two
examples are ISP operation (download heavy) or video surveillance backhaul (upload heavy).
Private Network Mode: In certain situations, customers may prefer to use Private network
Mode. For example, performance may be better in a private network where there is a lot of
Slave unit to Slave unit traffic (office branches, server located at a Slave unit building, etc)
