next available channel and repeats the monitoring process. Normal operation
resumes only when no radar signals are detected on a monitored channel.
Antenna Gain
: Enter the manufacturers specified gain (dBm) for the system antenna.
If this field is set higher than the true gain the sensitivity will be too low and the RDL-
3000 will not be operating in compliance with the UK/ETSI standard. If this field is set
lower than the true gain, the RDL-3000 is highly sensitive to interference and may
experience false triggers.
Target RSSI Enabled
: (SC only) Check this box
to enable the Automatic Transmit
Power Control (ATPC) feature.
When enabled, the sector controller continuously monitors the received signal strength
of each subscriber. Commands are sent to adjust the transmit power level of each
remote system to achieve (approximately) the common target RSSI set in the ATPC
Level field. Notes:
1.
When DFS is enabled, the subscriber transmit power may be automatically adjusted
(regardless of ATPC setting) to avoid false DFS triggering.
2.
Use the CLI command 'set atpcss <off|on>' to individually disable/enable the ATPC
function on a subscriber. Subscriber ATPC support is 'on' by default.
ATPC Level (dBm)
: (SC only) Set the target received signal level (dBm) from
subscribers when ATPC is enabled (Target RSSI Enabled).
Link Stickiness Time (Seconds)
: (SS Only) Period the subscriber continues to monitor
the RF channel for an opportunity to re-establish a link with the same sector controller. If
the wireless link is not restored within the specified period of 0 - 600 seconds, the
subscriber starts a new frequency scan.
This timer is active only when Auto Scan is enabled. This timer can be set locally on the
subscriber Wireless settings screen. If the connected sector controller supports
Stickiness Timer settings, the value is downloaded and overrides the local setting.
Updates to the sector controller are automatically forwarded to connected RAS-Elite
platforms. The subscriber reverts to the local setting when a rescan in started (e.g., Link
Stickiness Timer expired). The System Status screen displays the active Link Stickiness
Timer value.
Antenna Beam
: (RAS-Elite enabled units only) The RAS-Elite antenna is comprised of
multiple high-gain fast switching directional beams for full coverage across 360° in
azimuth.
Auto
:
Antenna is aimed automatically.
1-n
:
Manually set the antenna beam direction.
Note: The
RAS-Elite
antenna support is a factory-installed option. The System Status
screen field Selected Antenna Beam indicates N/A if this optional hardware is not
installed.
Registration Period [frames]
: (SC only) Specify the number of wireless frames to wait
between transmitting polling messages. The sector controller provides opportunities for
unregistered subscribers to contact the sector controller and attempt to establish a
wireless data link.
Note: Restricted to '1' in firmware versions 2.23/2.25 and higher.
