5.3.2. Multi-Streaming Mode
Theory of Operation
Characteristics:
definition]
Required Parameter Values (TX Modem): MD = 1 (Base), MD = 2 (Remote), RN > 0, RR > 0,
MY ≠ 0xFFFF
Recommended Use: Use this mode in point-to-multipoint networks where remote modems
initiate communications and require exclusive (uninterrupted) connections to the base modem.
Table 5.5.

* When Multi‐Streaming is enabled, the following parameters are consequently modified (if they have not
already been modified from their default states): RR, RN, MY, CD, AT and BT. [refer to Table 5.6]
When in Multi-Streaming Mode, all remote modems can initiate communications with the base
modem at the same time, but only one remote is granted an exclusive connection. After an
exclusive connection begins, data is transferred exclusively between two modems without
interruption from any other modems in the network.
An exclusive connection is a bi-directional connection that can only be established when in Multi-
Streaming Mode. An exclusive connection is immune to other remote modems interrupting the
connection and interleaving data (The interleaved data potentially renders the base modem
unable to discern from which remote modem the data was transmitted).
When an exclusive connection is granted to a single remote, the other remotes are notified that
the connection exists. The notification causes the remote modems to postpone transmissions
until the base modem sends notification that the exclusive connection has ended.
Figure 5.7.
In the connection sequence above, an exclusive connection is first granted to “Remote m”. The
CGP (Connection Grant Packet) is broadcast to all remote modems in the network to
communicate the base in engaged in an exclusive connection. Upon receipt of the CGP
notification, remote modems will wait for a DGP (Disconnect Grant Packet) before attempting
again to send data to the base modem.

Supports the passing of large data streams (> 256 bytes) from multiple
remote modems to a base modem (If a complete data stream from a remote
modem is less than 256 bytes, data can be sent from several remotes to a
base location without enabling this mode and latencies will be much less.)
