to a setting that is less than the actual distance there is an opportunity that 

the link 

may be lost and unrecoverable

 through GUI control. If the link is lost due to this 

situation, travel to the radio location(s) may be required to reset the value. If the Link 
Distance setting is set to a distance that is unnecessarily higher than the actual link 
distance, the radio may have

 substantially reduced performance

 with respect to 

throughput and latency.

TDD Frame Size must be set to the designed level. The value of this setting should 
have been determined in the design/engineering stage. The TDD Frame Size must also 
match at both ends of the link. The TDD Frame Size setting directly relates to the 
capacity, latency and the number of TDM circuits that can be supported over the given 
link distance. In multi-link networks, especially where there are collocated links, it 
may also be important to set all radios to the same TDD Frame Size to avoid self-
interference. The (future) GPS or internal synch function may be necessary for these 
types of networks. See sections 2.4 and 2.5 for more information. 
 

Changing TDD Frame Size will temporarily interrupt traffic

. 

The TDD Frame 

Size must match at each end

 – adjust the far-end radio first, then the near-end radio. 

If the TDD Frame Size is set to a value that cannot be supported for the link distance, 
there is an opportunity that 

the link may be lost and unrecoverable

 through GUI 

control. If the link is lost due to this situation, travel to the radio location(s) may be 
required to reset the value.

External Alarm Inputs can be ignored unless you are planning to connect external 
alarm sources to the radio in order to monitor the status of these external alarms 
through the radio management system. See Appendix D for more information.
