Radio link and drop and insert capacity
At the bottom of the Cross Connections page, the capacity pane displays the Radio and Drop and
insert capacities for both the local and remote terminals.
The Radio field shows the available radio link capacity (6696 kbit/s shown) and the shaded bar graph
shows the capacity assigned for cross connections over the radio link between the terminals as a
percentage of the total capacity of the radio link (22 % assigned).
The total capacity of the radio link is determined by the channel size and the modulation type of the
radio link.
The Drop and insert field shows the available drop and insert capacity (52584 kbit/s shown) and the
shaded bar graph shows the capacity assigned for local drop and insert cross connections as a
percentage of the total drop and insert capacity (8 % assigned).
The total drop and insert capacity is 65536 kbit/s minus the assigned radio link capacity.
Tip: On a screen set to 1024 by 768 resolution, this capacity information may be obscured by the task
bar if the Windows task bar is docked at the bottom of the screen. To view the capacity pane clearly,
either shift the task bar to another screen edge, make it auto-hide, or increase the screen resolution.
