MN/22137, rev 1 Configuration
Calibrated Data Rate
This is the Baseline Home State Data Rate and is used as the base reference
value to calculate the maximum DPC Margin.
DPC Margin
The Margin setting governs the upper power limit for all combinations of wave-
forms given.
Nominal Power Level
This is the Baseline Home State modulator Power Level and is used as the base
reference value to calculate the maximum DPC Margin.
Max Data Rate
This is the Maximum Data Rate achievable as calculated through site budgetary
numbers.
Max Code Rate
This is the Maximum Code Rate achievable as calculated through site budgetary
numbers.
Max Modulation
This is the Maximum Modulation achievable as calculated through site budget-
ary numbers.
Max FEC Type
This is the Maximum FEC Type achievable as calculated through site budgetary
numbers.
Calculate Max Power
This is the command to generate a maximum achievable modulator site power
as calculated using each of the budgetary numbers. If the entrance link cabling
attenuation and High Power Amplifier gain variables are balanced, the calcula-
tion will return a modulator output value within equipment limits. If any one of
these uplink variables is under or over, the returned value will display
INVALID.
