interface

3. In the Traffic class row of your new profile, select a class from the drop-

down list.

You may select one of the following:

•

Conversational is real-time two-way conversation. It is primarily used 
for voice over IP and video conferencing.

•

Streaming is real-time one-way communication. It is primarily used for 
video and audio.

•

Interactive is two-way communication (not real-time). It is used for 
communication that is not very delay-sensitive, such as web browsing, 
data base retrieval and server access. Examples of machines 
interaction with remote equipment are: polling for measurement 
records and automatic data base enquiries (tele-machines).

•

Background is used for data which is not delay-sensitive, such as E-
mails, SMS, download of databases and reception of measurement 
records.

4. Type in the bit rates in kbps in the following rows:

•

Maximum bit rate ul (kbps) is the maximum upload bit rate allowed for 
this profile.

•

Maximum bit rate dl (kbps) is the maximum download bit rate allowed 
for this profile.

•

Guaranteed bit rate ul (kbps) is the guaranteed upload bit rate needed 
for this profile.

•

Guaranteed bit rate dl (kbps) is the guaranteed download bit rate 
needed for this profile.

For best performance, choose the right traffic class for your 
application. In general, Standard data (Background) is best 
suited for TCP/IP applications, and Streaming data is best 
suited for UDP traffic, e.g. live video or audio.

For TracPhone FB250 the maximum allowed bit rate is 128 kbps.

When you click Apply, the bit rate values you typed in may be 
rounded off because only certain values are allowed.
