Control/Indicator/Function
Description
Reference FOW
Source Name
Name of the Network Control Terminal transmitting these bursts.
FOW ACQs
This is a count (since the last reset) of the number of missed FOW bursts
along with the number of expected FOW bursts.
FOW CRCs
This is a count (since the last reset) of the number of FOW bursts with
CRC errors along with the number of expected FOW bursts less the
number of missed FOW bursts.
FOW SNR (dB-Hz)
This is the current measured SNR of the FOW burst.
AROWs and DCOMs
Source Name
Name of the Terminal transmitting these bursts.
AROW ACQs
This is a count (since the last reset) of the number of missed AROW bursts
along with the total number of attempted AROW acquisitions. Note that a
Terminal that is "network member only" is not required to successfully
receive all AROW bursts; therefore, AROW Acquisition Statistics are not
displayed for "network member only" Terminals.
AROW CRCs
This is a count (since the last reset) of the number of AROW bursts with
CRC errors along with the total number of AROW CRC validations. Note
that a Terminal that is "network member only" is not required to
successfully receive all AROW bursts; therefore, AROW CRC Statistics
are not displayed for "network member only" Terminals.
DCOM ACQs
This is a count (since the last reset) of the number of missed DCOM bursts
along with the number of expected DCOM bursts. Note that Terminals do
not receive their own DCOM bursts but may receive their own AROW
bursts.
DCOM CRCs
This is a count (since the last reset) of the number of DCOM bursts with
CRC errors along with the number of expected DCOM bursts.
FOW Thresholds
FOW Acq %
These are operator defined thresholds determine when the HCI changes
the background color of the Acq field. Yellow is the warning level, Red is
the critical level. The number entered is the percentage of bursts missed.
FOW CRC %
These are operator defined thresholds determine when the HCI changes
the background color of the CRC field. Yellow is the warning level, Red is
the critical level. The number entered is the percentage of bursts in error.
FOW SNR
These are operator defined thresholds determine when the HCI changes
the background color of the SNR field. Yellow is the warning level for low
SNR, Red is the critical level for very low SNR. The number entered is the
SNR in dB-Hz.
AROW/DCOM Thresholds
AROW Acq %
These are operator defined thresholds determine when the HCI changes
the background color of this field. Yellow is the warning level, Red is the
critical level. The number entered is the percentage of bursts missed.
AROW CRC %
Same as previous.
DCOM Acq %
Same as previous.
DCOM CRC %
Same as previous.
