Setting Signal Margin (Remote Station Only)
The signal margin is the output transmit power (measured in dB) desired for a remote unit with respect to
the base station’s receive sensitivity threshold). This value is used by Output Power Control test modes to
set the transmit power.
For example, if set to 10 dB, an Output Power Control test mode will attempt to adjust the output transmit
power to a level at which the received signal at the base station is 10 dB greater than receiver sensitivity
threshold.
➧
To set the signal margin
1. From the Main Menu, select RF Station Configuration and press
Enter. The RF Station
Configuration menu is displayed.
2. Select Signal Margin and press Enter. The data field highlights.
3. Enter the ceiling value (from 6 to 31 dB) and press Enter.
4. Press
Esc to exit to the Main Menu.
