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. If the remote doesn’t respond within the time period, the base
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.
