Attribute
Meaning
Lowest Ethernet
Modulation Mode
The lowest modulation mode that must be achieved before the link is
allowed to bridge Ethernet frames.
Ethernet Capped
Max Wireless Speed
Disabled: Wireless speed is not limited by the connected Ethernet link.
Enabled: Wireless speed is limited to a mode that the connected Ethernet
link can sustain.
If either ODU is connected to an Ethernet link operating at less than
1000 Mbps, set this attribute to Enabled.
Max Transmit
Power
The maximum power (dBm) at which the unit will transmit, configurable
in steps of 1 dB. Its maximum value is controlled by the combination of
the selected Regulatory Band, Bandwidth and (for connectorized units)
Antenna Gain and Cable Loss.
To prepare for antenna alignment, set this attribute to the alignment value
specified in the installation report (PTP LINKPlanner).
To prepare for link operation, set this attribute to the operational value
specified in the installation report (PTP LINKPlanner). This may be higher
than the alignment value.
Antenna Gain
Only displayed when the ODU is connectorized. Gain of the remote
antenna.
Cable Loss
Only displayed when the ODU is connectorized. Loss in the ODU-antenna
RF cable. If there is a significant difference in length of the RF cables for
the two antenna ports, then the average value should be entered.
EIRP
Only displayed when the ODU is connectorized. Effective Isotropic
Radiated Power (EIRP) describes the strength of the radio signal leaving
the wireless unit. Use it to verify that the link configuration (Max Transmit
Power, Antenna Gain and Cable Loss) does not exceed any applicable
regulatory limit. Read only.
Encryption
Algorithm
Only displayed when AES encryption is enabled by license key.
Values are: None, AES 128-bit or AES 256-bit. Use the same setting at
both link ends.
Encryption Key
Only displayed when AES encryption is enabled by license key.
The key consists of 32 or 64 case-insensitive hexadecimal characters. Use
the same key at both link ends.
Confirm Encryption
Key
Only displayed when AES encryption is enabled by license key.
Retype the Encryption Key.
