MIDAS 4.2 Basic Configuration, Rev. 1
2–8 Setup and Operation
Power Setup
Click the Power Setup button to display the Power Setup window, which allows the
operator to configure the following power control settings when LinkSync
 is enabled:
UPC Threshold – this is the threshold level at which the Uplink Power
Control feature will be enabled, and the level adjusted. In other words, the
minimum difference between the current and calculated control channel power
levels before the power level will be adjusted (Range .1 to 1.0 dB).
UPC Time Interval – this setting
determines how frequently the system
will calculate and adjust the power levels
of the outbound control channel. This
time interval will vary depending on the
specific equipment involved, but will
generally be more frequent for Ku-band,
due to rain fade, for example.
