Performance
For 9500 MXC Node the Performance screen supports selections of:
• Link Performance on page 15-27
• NCC Performance on page 15-31
• DAC 16x/4x E1 Trib Error Performance on page 15-31
• DAC ES and IDU ES Performance on page 15-33
• DAC GE Performance on page 15-39
For the 9500 MXC Terminal, Radio and Controller modules are enabled, which
are similar in appearance and operation to the Link and NCC screens
respectively.
All performance screens include an Export tab, which allows data to be saved to
an Excel compatible CSV file on your CT laptop. If the CSV delimiter parameter
has not previously been set on your laptop, when the Export tab is first clicked
the Edit > Preferences window will be presented. Refer to 9500 MXC CT Menus
on page 3-4 of Volume IV.
Link Performance
The Link Performance screen as shown in Figure 15-9, provides G.826 data for
the selected link, plus Tx power, RSL, PA temperature, -48Vdc supply voltage at
the ODU, and an estimate of current BER and remote fade margin (fade margin
at the far-end Rx). For RAC 40s it also provides a measure of received-signal
cross-polarization discrimination.
The link performance screen applies only to RAC/Radio links.
Figure 15-10 and Figure 15-11 show performance screens for protected links.
