Defining new Profiles
When you define your Profiles you can select Subscribed for many of the settings. If you select
Subscribed, the value given in your Airtime subscription will automatically be used.
To define a new Profile, do as follows:
1. From the left navigation pane, select ADMINISTRATION > Profiles.
2. In one of the User defined columns, fill in the top field with the name of your Profile.
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.
Important
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.
