Parameter Descriptions
TPC This parameter enables you to manually set the Transmit Power Control (TPC) value when
ATPC is disabled. You can manually set TPC ranging from 0 to 25 dBm.
With TPC, you can adjust the output power of the device to a lower level. This is
performed to reduce interference with the neighboring devices. It can be helpful when
higher gain antenna is used without violating the maximum radiated output power for a
country or regulatory domain. By default, it is set to 0 dBm.
:
• TPC only lets you decrease the output power; it does not let you increase the
output power beyond the maximum allowed defaults for the selected frequency
and country.
• TPC can be configured in the steps of 0.5 dB
Antenna Gain The sensitivity of the radio card can be modified when detecting radar signals in
accordance with ETSI, FCC, and IC Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements. As
the radar detection threshold is fixed by ETSI, the FCC, and IC and a variety of antennas with
different gains may be attached to the device, you must adjust this threshold to account for
higher than expected antenna gains. This can avoid false radar detection events which can
result in frequent change in the Frequency channels.
Configure the threshold for radar detection at the radio card to compensate for increased
external antenna gains. The Antenna Gain value ranges from 0 to 40 dBi. For devices with
connectorized antenna, the Antenna Gain by default is set to zero dBi.
Tabulated below are the default Antenna Gain, for devices with integrated antenna:
Product (s) Antenna Gain
Tsunami® MP-8150-SUR 23 dBi
Tsunami® MP-8150-CPE 16 dBi
Tsunami® MP-8160-CPE 15 dBi
Tsunami® QB-8150-EPR/ 23 dBi
Tsunami® QB-8150-LNK
Tsunami® QB-8150-EPR-12/50 16 dBi
Wireless Inactivity Resets the wireless interface if there is no change in the Tx and Rx Packet Count in the
Timer specified interval of time. The default value is set to 10 seconds (disabled if set to 0
seconds) and can be configured between 5 to 600 seconds.
