IMPORTANT
When changing Modulation type the data rate must be set to a rate
supported by the modulation type or the change to the modulation type
will not be allowed. Some choices will only be visible if the modem is
set to a compatible mode or if an option is installed or enabled.
Select: CONFIG: Transmit: DataRate
The user can enter the desired data rate in kilobits using step 1 or step 2 as follows:
1. Use the number keypad and enter the desired data rate (See Chapter 3).
2. Use
the
efbc
arrow keys to scroll up and down to select the desired data
rate. When scrolling data rate, the symbol rate will automatically be
recalculated and displayed.
IMPORTANT
When entering the data rate, the following interactions need to
be taken into account. If the modulation type selected is 8-PSK
or 16-QAM the minimum data rate allowed is 256 kbps. When
changing certain parameters like modem type, the data rate will
default to 64 kbps or 256 kbps. The calculated symbol rate is
displayed for the user. This is helpful for determining the
occupied bandwidth required for the selected
modulation type,
code rate and overhead.
