Hello and sorry for the stupid question, I need some info.
I have an AP set on TDD with around 10 SM registered to it. I know (correct me if I’m wrong) that if I set AP in ePTP Master, then there can only be one SM and it must be on ePTP Slave.
What if I set AP on TDD PTP Mode? I can see there is an option to choose which SM should be linked to (first SM or by MAC).
If I choose a MAC address of a SM in TDD, will the link work? What about all other SMs? They can still stay on normal TDD?
SMs in question are not GPS synched.
Thank you
If you configure AP as TDD PTP or ePTP there can be only one subscriber connected to AP. If you want to have multipoint then you should configure TDD mode. TDD and ePTP are used only for point-to-point solutions.
What would you like to do? Why whould you change mode, if you already have 10 subscribes on AP?
KInd regards
Thank you for your reply.
Honestly it was just curiosity: I knew the Point-To-Point allowed only one subscriber normally, but then I asked myself when I noticed that option in TDD PTP “Why there should be two options for choose which SM should be pointed to when there can only be always one registered?” And yeah that’s it.
That's just for users, to have more options to chose from, nothing special.
Another big reason to use TDD-PTP or ePTP mode vs just TDD mode for a PtP link is that when you use the PTP modes, depending on your region, you're allowed to have a higher EIRP. The radios will allow a higher TX power output when set to the dedicated PTP modes. Lastly, while I haven't tested this, I would wager that using the dedicated PTP modes would have slightly better throughput and/or latency (I know for a fact ePTP has better latency) then TDD mode because the master/AP isn't having to worry about serving multiple clients.
