GPS Clock Sync
The airFiber uses GPS to synchronize
the timing of its transmissions. By default, this option is
disabled.
Automatic Power Backoff
This feature allows the radio
to automatically adjust the maximum TX power per
modulation so that the radio never transmits at a higher
power than each modulation rate can decode. The default
values in the
Max 8x/6x/4x Conducted Power
fields are
values determined to work at all temperatures and all
frequencies supported by the radio.
It may, however, be possible to increase the maximum
TX power for one or more modulations based on your
radio’s operating environment. For example, if a radio
is running at 6x and trying to switch into 8x operation,
you can increase the
Max 8x Conducted Power value 1 dB
at at time to see if the radio can maintain 8x operation
(
Automatic Power Backoff
must be enabled to allow the
Max Conducted Power
fields to be edited). The same can
be done with 6x and 4x up to the maximum conducted
power of the radio.
Max 8x/6x/4x Conducted Power
The maximum
conducted power for the 8x/6x/4x modulation rates. Each
field is editable only if
Automatic Power Backoff
is enabled.
