Configuring the Radio Parameters

Note:
In contrast to an ordinary mute, a timed mute is not persistent. This means
that if the unit is reset, the radio is not muted when the unit comes back
online, even if the timer had not expired.
ii.
In the
TX Level (dBm)
field, enter the desired TX signal level (TSL). The range of values depends on the
frequency and RFU type. When
Adaptive TX power admin
is configured to
Enable
, this field
determines the maximum TX level, as described below.
iii.
In the
Link ID
field, enter a unique link identifier from 1 to 65535. The Link ID identifies the link, in
order to distinguish it from other links. If the Link ID is not the same at both sides of the link, a Link ID
Mismatch alarm is raised.
iv.
The
Adaptive TX power admin
field enables or disables Adaptive TX Power. When Adaptive TX Power
is enabled, the radio adjusts its TX power dynamically based on the current modulation. When the
modulation is at a high level, the TX power is adjusted to the level required with the high modulation.
If the modulation goes down to a lower level, the TX power increases to compensate for the lower
modulation. The TX level configured in the
TX Level (dBm)
field determines the maximum TX level,
but the actual TX level as shown in the
Operational TX Level (dBm)
field can be expected to be lower
when the radio is operating at high modulations requiring less TX power.
To enable Adaptive TX power, select
Enable
. The
Adaptive TX power operational status
field should
now indicate
Up
to indicate that the feature is fully functional.
Note:
Adaptive TX Power only operates when the MRMC script is configured to
Adaptive mode. If the script is configured to Fixed mode (or Adaptive mode
with the Minimum and Maximum Profile set to the same value), you can set
Adaptive TX Power
to
Enable
, but the
Adaptive TX power operational status
field will indicate
Down
.
Adaptive TX Power is not supported with release 10.6.
v.
In the
RSL degradation alarm
field, select
Enable
if you want the unit to generate an alarm in the
event that the RSL falls beneath the threshold defined in the
RSL degradation threshold
field. The
range of values is -99 to 0. By default, the alarm is disabled, with a default degradation threshold
of -68 dBm. The RSL degradation alarm is alarm ID 1610,
Radio Receive Signal Level is below the
configured threshold
.
The alarm is cleared when the RSL goes above the configured threshold. The alarm is masked if the
radio interface is disabled, the radio does not exist, or a communication-failure alarm (Alarm ID
#1703) is raised.
