Parameter
Level of encoding the modem can accept based on the current
signal quality. Lower Modcod numbers are used if signal

impairments such as rain are present. Adaptive coding and
modulation (Modcod) is a Hughes-developed technique that
maximizes over-the-air bandwidth utilization.
Examining receive status
You can check the Receive Status parameter to find out if the receive data path is operational
or if there is a problem. Normal receive status is indicated by the message
Receiver operational.
(RxCode 5)
.
The following two illustrations show how you can view a list of all RxCodes or see an explanation
of the currently displayed RxCode. Each RxCode—except RxCode 5—indicates a specific
problem in the receive path.
