Configuration
56 AWE 120-24 Installation & Configuration Guide
➧
To set up the receive unit
1. Connect a PC to the Serial port of the unit.
2. Log in to the unit and go to the Main Menu.
3. From the Main Menu, select RF Station Configuration and press
Enter. The RF Station
Configuration menu is displayed.
4. Select Operating Mode and press
Enter. The field highlights.
5. Select Receive Test and press
Enter. The Mode LED on the turns green, indicating that the unit is
receiving. The link statistics are displayed on the receiving unit. Alternating lines of statistics across the
screen indicate that data is incoming. See the following example.
Link Statistics Example
6. Check for BER = 0.0E+00 and CorrP between 15 – 50 dB. If the CorrP is <15 dB the receive signal is
probably too weak. If the power is >55 dB the receiving unit is probably saturated.
If you have problems ensure that the unit is configured to its basic default settings (see Restoring Factory
Configurations, page 101) and reconfigure the unit, or contact Wi-LAN customer support.
7. To end the test, briefly disconnect power from the unit or press and hold the Mode button to return to
Normal mode.
BER Bit Error Rate
MPC Missed Packet Count
EnvP Envelope Power—the power of the received signal inlcuding noise,
measured in dB (0–63)
CorrP Correlation Power—the power of the received signal, excluding noise,
measured in dB (0–63)
- BER = 0.0E+00, MPC = 0, EnvP = 63, CorrP = 63
| BER = 0.0E+00, MPC = 0, EnvP = 63, CorrP = 63
