From power-up, the modem automatically records modem and satellite link performance
information for both online and offline use. This information can be sent by email from the
modem to any email address, providing a connection from the modem to an Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) mail server is available. This feature is particularly useful when
providing Quality of Service reports to satellite-services end users and when investigating
unexplained disruptions to the satellite service. It is also possible to fetch performance
data over the satellite from a remote modem and then send this by email from the local
modem.
The modem has a built-in SMTP mail client. By ticking the required checkboxes, the
following information can be sent from the modem, either on demand or at preset
intervals:
•
Up to a month’s worth of logged Rx Eb/No values
•
Up to a month’s worth of logged AUPC remote Eb/No values
•
Up to a month’s worth of logged Rx power level values
•
Up to a month’s worth of logged user BER values
•
Up to a month’s worth of logged AUPC Tx power level values
•
Up to a month’s worth of logged modem temperature values
•
The contents of the modem’s event log (i.e. all noteable events that have
occurred)
•
Current system alarms (i.e. all Unit, Tx and Rx faults and warnings)
•
All configuration memories
•
Instantaneous spectrum data
