Provide this information only if you are using the link
station for independent traffic. For descriptions of the
parameters in this section, see “Parameters for
Independent LU Traffic”.
Dependent LU traffic
Provide this information only if you are using the link
station for dependent traffic. For descriptions of the
parameters in this section, see “Parameters for
Dependent LU Traffic”.
