Enabling ACM with Adaptive Transmit Power
This feature requires:
•
ACM script
•
When working with RFU-C, requires RFU software version 2.17 or above
When planning ACM-based radio links, the radio planner attempts to apply the lowest transmit power that will
perform satisfactorily at the highest level of modulation. During fade conditions requiring a modulation drop, most
radio systems cannot increase transmit power to compensate for the signal degradation, resulting in a deeper
reduction in capacity. The PTP 820G is capable of adjusting power on the fly, and optimizing the available capacity
at every modulation point.
To enable ACM with adaptive transmit power:
1 Select Radio > Radio Parameters . The Radio Parameters page opens ( Figure 39 ).
2 Select the carrier in the Radio table and click Edit . A separate configuration page opens ( Figure 40 ).
3 In the Adaptive TX power admin field, select Enable .
4 Click Apply , then Close . When you open the configuration page again, the Adaptive TX power operational
status field should now indicate Up to indicate that the feature is fully functional.
