| Parameter | Description |
|---|
| Tx capacity | - Displays the maximum transmission capacity expressed in Kbps for the current modulation and coding scheme; if the MCS changes, the Tx capacity will also change accordingly
|
| Tx/Rx Frequency | - Displays the center Tx frequency expressed in MHz
|
| DFS status | |
| 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)
- 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
