Horizon Compact Plus Release 1.0.1    Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 2 
10.2  Asymmetric Throughput Speed 
Asymmetric throughput can be achieved by installing the same Horizon Compact Plus hardware type at 
each end of the link, and configuring  one end with a different  system speed.  Note, that the System 
Mode, must be identical at each end of the link for this to work. The variable will be the system speed 
figure. 
Procedure 10-2  
Configure Horizon Compact Plus Throughput Speed (Asymmetric) 
Required Action 
Steps 
login 
Log in as a NOC user. 
View system mode 
Returns the current system mode and a list of available system 
modes. 
Sequence: 
get system mode press Enter 
System responds: 
Current system mode is :hy50_67_qpsk (Example) 
System modes available in the system: 
cw_test hy50_67_qpsk hy50_110_16qam   
hy50_171_32qam  hy50_215_64qam hy50_271_128qam   
hy50_322_256qam  hy50_371_256qam  
Configure system mode 
Sets the system mode (channel bandwidth, maximum throughput 
speed and modulation scheme). 
Sequence: 
set system mode <hy[bandwidth]_[throughput]_[modulation]> 
Example: 
set system mode hy50_110_16qam press Enter 
(50 MHz channel bandwidth, 110 Mbps throughput and 16QAM 
modulation. 
System responds: 
System mode set to :hy50_110_16qam 
Note: For asymmetric speeds, the system mode must be set identically 
at each end of the link.
