RS

Reed-Solomon Encoder: On or Off

Diff

Differential Encoder: On or Off

Scram

Scrambling (for energy dispersal):

V.35, MOD-V.35, IBS, TURBO, OM73, Synch, or Off.

Note the following:

V.35 – ITU standard.

MOD-V.35 (Modified V.35) – Comtech EF Data Closed Network with Reed- Solomon

compatible .

IBS – Used for IESS-309 operation.

Turbo – Synchronous scrambler synchronized to the Turbo block.

OM73 – Linkabit OM-73 modem compatibility mode.

Synch – Synchronous scrambler synchronized to the Reed-Solomon.

When changing modulation type, the data rate must be set to a rate supported

by the modulation type or the change to the modulation type will not be

allowed. Some choices will only be visible if the modem is set to a compatible

mode, or if an option is installed or enabled.

Use Method 1 or Method 2 to enter the desired Tx Data Rate (in kilobits per second):

Method

Procedure

1

Use the number keypad and enter the desired data rate.

(See Appendix B. OPERATIONS GUIDE.)

2

Use the  arrow keys to scroll through and select the desired data rate or symbol rate. When

scrolling through the data rates the symbol rate is automatically recalculated and displayed.

When entering the data rate, the following interactions need to be taken into

account:
If the modulation type selected is 8PSK, 8QAM, or 16QAM the minimum data

rate allowed is 256 kbps.
When changing certain parameters like modem type, the data rate will default to

64 kbps or 256 kbps.
The calculated symbol rate is displayed for the user. This is helpful for

determining the occupied bandwidth required for the selected modulation type,

code rate and overhead.
