Automatic Transmit Power Control
Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) enables the IFU to maintain a
constant receive signal at the lowest appropriate power. The IFU operates
between –30 and –70 dBm.
The ATPC feature allows the user to enable or disable the ATPC and displays
the status on the WorkSpace window. When power control is enabled, the
display shows a green light on the ATPC icon. Conversely, when power
control is disabled the display shows a red light on the ATPC icon.
NOTE: Generally, you will want to disable ATPC only when you are
aligning the antennas. For more information about using this feature,
refer to? in the online help.
Transmitter Power
The Transmitter Power feature enables the user to power the transmitter ON
and OFF. The transmitter status displays on the workspace.
NOTE: For more information about this feature, refer to “General
Procedures” in the online help.
Manual Reboot
The Manual Reboot feature enables the user to reboot the modem or the IFU.
