User Manual

NOTE - The RF Network Name should be changed from the default settings, and

each PTP link should use a unique RF Network Name.

NOTE - RF Network Name can be up to 32 characters long, and consist of all

alphanumerics, plus the following symbols: @ (at sign) - (dash) . (period) ‘ (tick) _

(underscore). RF Network Name may not include spaces.

Transmit Power This parameter sets the RF output power of the radio. Increasing this value

will extend the range of the PTP system. However, the maximum available power is limited by

the chosen RF modulation and the regulatory entities in each country. The available values are

6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 dBm

Modulation Used to establish the transmit modulation and FEC rate of the OFDM radio. The

higher the modulation setting (or “density”), the higher the link data rate, but the lower the

receive sensitivity.

From lowest to highest data rates, the available modulation/FEC settings are:

• BPSK- ½

• QPSK- ½

• QPSK- ¾

• QAM16- ½

• QAM16- ¾

• QAM64- ⅔

• QAM64- ¾

• AUTO

From the above screen on the Master unit, Tx/Rx modulations for each client can be set

individually. The values can be a specific modulation type or AUTO, using the ACM feature

shown below.

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) The AUTO setting above will enable the ACM

function in the network. This feature allows the system to determine the best TX modulation and

MIMO settings based on current RF conditions. At power-up (or reset), the ACM function will

begin operation at the most robust modulation and MIMO settings (BPSK-1/2, 1 stream). If link

conditions warrant, higher order settings will be tested and selected for use.
