Enable Security (VLAN)
: Check this box
to enable VLAN tagged management for
this RDL-2000 unit.
Disabled (
): RDL-2000 unit does not recognize VLAN tagged management traffic.
Enabled (
): RDL-2000 unit can be managed using VLAN traffic tagged with the VID
specified in the
Mgmt. VID
field (see Installation->Link Configuration screen). Ethernet
traffic is blocked between Ethernet Port 1 and 2.
Note: Enabling VLAN management does not disable management using non tagged
traffic (e.g., operator can use all Link Manager and CLI features over no VLAN
connections).
Power Control (ATPC)
Activate ATPC
: (Master Only) Check this box
to enable the Master to achieve
optimum performance by automatically adjusting the transmit power levels for the
wireless link. Identical settings must be used on the Master and Slave.
Notes:
1. When ATPC is enabled, best results are obtained by also enabling Adaptive
Modulation on the Master.
2. When Adaptive Modulation is enabled, the Tx power is adjusted automatically
(overriding ATPC if enabled).
3. When DFS is enabled, the Slave transmit power may be automatically adjusted to
avoid false DFS triggering (overriding ATPC if enabled).
Expected Rx Power
: (Master Only) Set the desired Rx power threshold. This value is
used to adjust the Tx power for both ends of the wireless link (valid only when ATPC
enabled).
Current Tx Power
: (Slave Only) Set the default Tx power for the Slave when performing
initial ranging (valid only when ATPC enabled).
TX Power Configuration
Antenna Gain
: Select the gain value for the antenna system.
Cable Loss
: Select the cable attenuation. Select 1 dBm when using the supplied
Redline antenna jumper cables.
M. Tx Power(dBm)
: Select the maximum transmit power level (-22 to 22 dBm). This
setting is for the transmitter output only. The actual EIRP depends on the gain of the
connected antenna and cable losses.

Important
: Where required by local regulations, the maximum operational power per
channel for a specific antenna must not exceed the maximum allowable EIRP levels.
See the notices in this manual. The RF output power settings must be professionally
programmed by the manufacturer or a trained professional installer.
Note
: There is no operator control to disable the transmitter.
Total
: Displays calculated EIRP based on the selected settings for Tx power, cable loss,
and antenna gain.
