3-4 Wisair Confidential and Proprietary Information UWB MB-OFDM DVModule DV9100 User Manual External MAC Interface / Internal MAC DIP switch 1 is used to choose between an external MAC (using MBOA type of PHY-MAC interface) and the internal MAC (Wisair proprietary). The internal MAC is either the Ethernet MAC or the internal packet generator. The default configuration is the Ethernet MAC. Master / Slave DIP switch 2 is used to indicate if the DVModule works in master or slave mode. For a point-to-point application, designate one DVModule as the master and the other as the slave. The slave DVModule synchronizes itself to the Master DVModule, and channel time usage will be divided between both modules, based on the TDD duty cycle configuration of DIP switch 1. No-ACK / Imm-ACK DIP switch 3 is used to identify whether the MAC uses Immediate ACK to acknowledge for received frames. For a point-to-point application, set both DVModules to the same ACK mode. The default configuration is No-Ack. Duty Cycle and Super-frame Duration Configuration DIP switches 4, 5, and 6 are used together to define the duty cycle and the super-frame duration for a point-to-point application (see its combination named as CBA). Example 1: 80/20 Configuration 0Master RX/Slave TXMaster TX/Slave RXSuperframe Duration80% 20%Master BeaconSlave Beacon Figure 3-2: 80%/20% MAC Configuration Example
