Modulation Statistics

The "Modulation Statistics" tool displays the information about modulation types, such as receive and transmit statistics for different coding scheme. 

Please note that lower modulation is used for service traffic transmission, therefore, if such traffic prevails in the network, the counter growth for low modulations is normal.

Errors/Drops Statistics/SNR/EVM 

The "Errors/Drops Statistics/SNR/EVM" window displays the number of errors, retries and droped packets during transmission for each link. This tool provides information about the SNR level for each polarization of the remote and local devices, as well as rates of lost and late delivery acknowledgments.

In addition, this section displays the estimated throughput per subscriber in Mbps. The lower values show the guaranteed throughput in the worst case scenario when all subscribers are actively transmitting. The upper values display the throughput in the best scenario, when data is transmitted only by the selected subscriber.

The EVM value is measured not at the operation modulation, but at the lowest possible. In case the misoctl option is enabled and VBR is disabled on Slave, the lowest possible modulation uses a single data stream. If misoctl is turned off or VBR is turned on, both channels will be used for transmission, and the EVM parameter values will be displayed for each modulation.

Radio Scanner

The "Radio Scanner" tool allows to estimate the efficiency of the radio links utilization, analyzing the radio-frequency environment for the current frequency, under the current channel bandwidth, without the radio link interruption and displays the following statistics:

  • Radio parameters of every source in the radio link
  • Number of sources, number of packets, including the skipped ones
  • Number of pulses, their average level and average number of pulses per second

ParameterDescription
Count
  • Number of the registered frames (packets)
MAC
  • Host MAC address
Type
  • Host type
Level
  • First value - signal level relative to the receiver sensitivity at a given modulation (bitrate), in dB
  • Second value - absolute input signal level, in dBm
Bitrate
  • Current bitrate value
Length
  • Average frame length in bytes
Name
  • Host name
SID
  •  Network system identifier
Freq
  • Current center frequency
Total sources
  • Number of sources
Total packets
  • Total number of the registered frames (packets)
Skipped packets
  • Number of skipped (unaccounted) packets due to queue overflow or lack of CPU resources
CRC errors
  • Number of errors in the checksum calculation
Pulses
  • Pulses noise counter:
    • The first value is the number of electromagnetic energy peaks during the scanner operation. The Pulses counter includes frames for which the modulation and source MAC address could not be recognized.
    • The "avg level" value shows an average noise level, the first value is a noise level relative to the receiver sensitivity at a given modulation (dB), the second is an absolute input signal level (dBm).
    • The "avg pps" value indicates an average pulses per second number. The value over 50 pps indicates a high noise level.

"Frequency" and "Bandwidth" are highlighted in red when the frequency and bandwidth values are already not the same as they were when Radio Scanner was started. This may occur when several profiles at the subscriber terminal link settings are configured. While searching the base station sector the subscriber terminal loops through all available profiles with different settings, highlighting them in red.

  • It is recommended to start antenna alignment with searching the maximum signal level on a minimal possible bitrate. Afterwards, automatic MINT mechanisms will set the most appropriate bitrate when “Autobitrate” mode is enabled.
  • Input signal level (CINR) should be between 12 dB and 50 dB.
  • If signal level is more than 50 dB, it is recommended to lower the amplifier power.
  • If maximal signal level is less than 12, it is recommended to lower the channel width (for example: from 20 MHz to 10 MHz).
  • In some cases, a signal level that is less than 12 may be enough for the radio link operation. In this case, you should be guided by parameters such as the number of retries and Error Vector Magnitude. If the number of retries is low (close to “0”) and EVM is more than 21 (Input Signal stripe is green) then the radio link is most likely, operating properly.
  • Retries value should be zero or as low as possible (less than 5%).
  • The top of an Input Signal stripe should be located in the black area.
  • The signal quality should be good: EVM value should be more than 21.
  • Input signals of the two antennas of the device should have similar Cross fading values (Input Signal stripes should be symmetrically to the value of 0 dB).

ALL All described recommendations are applicable to both ("Local" and "Remote") sections.
