highest

readings

that have

registered

on the BDA since

or reset.

Figure 4-5 shows a typical display.

Figure 4-5: Peak Power Readout Display

NOTE

Because the AGC cannot act instantaneously, the peak power seen on the output

might be higher than the power the unit is capable of sustaining. This is not an

error, but an indication that the power level was detected– brieﬂy – at the output

port. This is meant to aid in diagnostics, if necessary.

Pressing the Menu button will advance the user to the Downlink Gain display.

4.2.5 Gain Display

The Gain Display shown in Figure 4-6 indicates the gain applied to the uplink or downlink pass band. These values

may differ if an offset has been applied.

Pressing the Menu button advances to the BDA Name display.

4.2.6 BDA Name and Address Display

In addition to its name, a BDA can be uniquely identiﬁed on a network with a web monitor by its network name. The

network name is identical to the one in the screen saver display. The BDA name is limited to seven characters. Each

BDA is accessible by a single web monitor on the network and must have a unique address, between one and seven,

inclusive, within that network. This display also shows the current BDA’s network address.
