Power Saving
In the Add or Edit Channel Profile dialog box, the Power Saving tab lets you
configure power saving. A graph shows the meaning of
Rx Sniff , Rx cycling ,
and Tx keyup . The three areas below the graph define the parameters for
Normal, Sleep, and Deep Sleep modes. Sleep and Deep Sleep modes require a
Power Saving Modes license and only occur when the base station is running
on battery power.
Power saving involves switching off parts of the base station circuitry. For
details see the Installation and Operation manual. To determine the parameter
settings needed for a given level of power consumption, refer to the
Specifications manual.
Normal
Defines how the base station operates normally. Normal mode can involve a
degree of power saving.
Sleep
The Sleep check box enables Sleep mode. The related group box defines how
the base station operates in Sleep mode. A base station enters Sleep mode when
the receiver has been idle for the length of time specified in the Sleep mode’s
Start after box.
Deep Sleep
The Deep Sleep check box enables Deep Sleep mode. The related group box
defines how the base station operates in Deep Sleep mode. A base station enters
Deep Sleep mode when the receiver has been idle for the length of time
specified in the Deep Sleep mode’s
Start after box.
Rx cycling
Rx cycling is the length of time in milliseconds that the receiver is switched off
for.
Power saving is effected by switching off the receiver, switching it back on for
an ‘Rx sniff’ to check if there is a valid signal, switching it off again, and so on.
Rx cycling is the length of time that the receiver is switched off for.
