FUNCTION SELECT: UTILITY: MODEM TYPE:

LOCAL MODEM AUPC

OFF

Selecting Local Modem AUPC = ON enables the Configuration: Local AUPC: menu

where programming for self-monitoring AUPC with one modem or remote AUPC

between two modems is performed. These modes automatically adjust the TX Power

Level from the modulator to compensate for rain fades.

The self monitoring does not require the ASYNC/AUPC option and the Overhead card to

be installed or the AUPC Option and Reed-Solomon cards installed to operate.

AUPC between two modems does require either the ASYNC/AUPC option and the

Overhead Card or the AUPC option and the Reed-Solomon cards.

Notes:

1. When the Overhead card with the ASYNC/AUPC option is installed, and the

self-monitoring Local Modem AUPC mode is needed, do not select ASYNC as

the Modem Type.

2. When the Reed-Solomon card with AUPC option is installed, select AUPC from

the Modem Type menu (under Utility: Modem Type menu) when AUPC between

two modems is needed.

3. The Modem must be configured for Duplex operation and the demodulator

locked to the modulator signal.
