CONFIGURE REVERSE INPUT POWER LEVELS
NOTE: Digital power measurements are inaccurate when ALC is active.
1 To access the Configure Reverse Input Power Levels page, in the System Menu bar,
click System Configuration > Configure Reverse Input Power Levels.
The read-Only columns in the table provide the following information:
• Peak Power (dBm)—shows the highest (peak) power level reached by the DART
• Average Power (dBm)—shows the average power level reached by the DART
• Minimum Power (dBm)—shows the minimum power level reached by the DART
• Last Max Hold Reset Time—shows the last time MAX Hold was reset.
• Passband—type of passband provided by the DART
• Frequency (MHz)—passband frequency of the DART
2 In the Select Remote list, select the PRU/URU that you are configuring. The table
at the bottom of the page displays power level values for the selected Remote
Unit and its DARTs.
3 In the Select DART list, do one of the following:
• Select a specific DART to configure. If you select a specific DART, the table
at the bottom of the page displays power level values for the selected DART.
• Select All to configure all the DARTs the same at the same time. If you select
All, the table at the bottom of the page displays power level values for the
selected Remote Unit and all its DARTs.
4 In the Gain Mode list, set the High Gain mode to one of the following:
• Normal—effects the attenuation of the temperature compensation algorithm
(default).
• High—does not effect the attenuation of the temperature compensation
algorithm.
NOTE: When a Classic DART is in High Gain mode, the noise floor increases by 1 dBm. When a
Super DART is in High Gain mode, the noise floor increases by 4 dBm.
