ParameterDescription
Wireless Link Status
  • Displays the status of the radio link which can be “Up” or “Down”

  • If the remote end stats is disabled, the measured distance is only shown at the slave unit
Channel Width
  • Displays the channel bandwidth that is in use
DL/UL Ratio
  • Displays actual downlink/uplink ratio
    • "Downlink" - data transmission from Master to Slave
    • "Uplink" - data transmission from Slave to Master
Frame Period
  • Frame length

ParameterDescription
Tx capacity
  • Displays the maximum transmission capacity expressed in Kbps for the current modulation and coding scheme; if . If the MCS changes, the Tx capacity will also change accordingly
Tx/Rx Frequency
  • Displays the center Tx frequency expressed in MHz
DFS status
  • DFS status information. Possible statuses:
    • "NO_INIT" - utility is not initialized
    • "DISABLED" - DFS is disabled
    • "ENABLED" - DFS is enabled
    • "FG_RADAR_SEARCH" - selected frequency scanning for radars existence
    • "FG_RSSI_SCAN" - all available frequency grid noise level scanning
    • "RADAR_FOUND" - radar found
    • "RADAR_UP" - frequency with radar is blocked for selection
    • "BG_RSSI_V" - "background" RSSI on the vertical channel
    • "BG_RSSI_H" - "background" RSSI on the horizontal channel
    • "BG_RDRDT_MAIN" - radar "background" searching on the main frequency
    • "BG_RDRDT_ANNOUNCE" - radar "background" searching on the potential frequency
    • "BG_FF_UL" - uplink frequency changing
    • "BG_FF_DL" - downlink frequency changing
Tx/Rx Frames
  • Displays the number of transmitted and received air frames
Rx Bad frames
  • Displays the number of air frames received with errors for which the Control Block cannot be correctly decoded
Rx Acc FER
  • Displays the Frame Error Ratio, meaning the percentage of frame loss (air frames that cannot be decoded divided by the total number of air frames received)
Tx parameters
MCS
  • Displays the modulation and coding scheme that is in use at Tx side. There are 11 MCS schemes available and if the AMC is set to auto, the MCS will dynamically change its value based on the link quality (at both units - local and remote). The maximum Tx capacity varies based on the MCS in use. 
  • For example, for QAM256 7/8 (8), “QAM256” is the modulation in use, “7/8” is the coding scheme in use (for every 7 data bits encoder produces 8 bits to be sent over the air) and “(8)” represents the index of the MCS in use
Power
  • Displays the current power level of the Tx signal for each radio chain in dBm
Rx parameters
MCS
  • Displays the modulation and coding scheme that is in use at Rx side. The representation is similar to that for Tx part
CINR
  • Displays Carrier to Interference and Noise Ratio measured in downlink and expressed in dB
  • CINR can be limited either due to too low signal level or because of the interference from other radios
  • AMC algorithm makes its decisions based on the CINR value
  • Higher CINR is better
RSSI
  • Displays the Received Signal Strength Indicator measured in downlink and expressed in dBm
  • Represents the power of the received signal as a whole (useful signal plus noise and interferences) and if it goes below the level of the sensitivity, the link will go down
Acc TBER
  • Displays the Transport Block Error Ratio, showing the percentage of errored transport blocks
  • Each application has an acceptable air block error rate defined as a minimum requirement
  • The values are presented in the table below
