Note:
When the ALX is operated in V.29 Fast Master mode, the carrier detect level is fixed at
-26 dBm, regardless of the Carrier Detect option setting.
Leased Line Applications
For leased line use, the carrier detect level can be set for -26, -33 or -43 dBm. The default
setting is -26 dBm.
Dialup Applications
For dial line use, the carrier detect level can be set for -26, -33 or -43 dBm. The default setting
is -43 dBm.
-
Transmit Level
All
modes
This option controls the modem’s transmit (transmission) level. To make a selection, first
select LEASED or DIAL from the TRANSMIT LEVEL screen.
Leased Line Applications
For leased lines, the transmit level can be set between 0 and -15 dBm, in 1-dBm steps. The
standard setting is 0 dBm.
Dialup Applications
The transmit level for dial lines can be set as either programmable (PROG) or permissive
(PERMIS). The most common settings is permissive, which means the transmit level is fixed
at -9 dBm maximum.
Note:
(V.34 models only): If the Channel Probing and Transmit Level Adjustable by Probing
options are enabled, the actual transmit level may be lower than the selected Transmit Level
setting.
-
Signal Quality
All
modes
This option sets the threshold for the ER (error) indication during normal operation. You can
choose either 10^4, one error in 10,000 bits, or 10^6, one error in 1 million bits. The settings
of the Signal Quality and Carrier Detect Level options determine the threshold values the
modem uses as criteria for entering Leased Line Auto-Recovery mode.
