Editing subscribers
The characteristics of subscribers are defined using the nodes in the Subscriber
Settings dialog box. The nodes within the Subscriber Settings dialog box represent
building blocks for subscriber types: Equipment Types, Services, and Subscriber
Types. You can create a diverse mix of subscribers by defining different services,
quality types, and user equipment types and assigning them to subscriber types.
Subscriber types are used with Monte Carlo simulations. Nominal analyses only
require the definition of equipment types.
In this lesson, you will modify subscriber settings to use the traffic map you created
in the previous lesson.
