Section 1 TRACER Description

The LEDs that indicate error conditions in the spread spectrum data pump and RFC are listed below.

All of these LEDs are visible through the front panel. Any one of these LEDs indicates an error condition that precludes system operation.

Link Down

Red if the RF link is not operational.

 

E1 interfaces will transmit UA1 on the affected E1 to indicate an error.

RF Low

Red if the received RF carrier level is below -80 dBm.

The controls available from the control panel are listed below.

Name

Function

Reset

Reset the system

LBK

Toggles E1 between normal and local line loopback modes

CAS

Selects Channel Associated Signaling

CCS

Selects Common Channel Signaling

HDB3

Selects HDB3 Line Coding

AMI

Selects AMI Line Coding

Remote Test

Initiate a remote test across the RF link

TX Power

Adjusts transmit power level up and down

The monitor points provided on the front panel of the system are described below.

RSSI

DC voltage indicating strength of the received signal at the antenna

GND

System ground

NOTE

The voltage level present at the RSSI test point represents a relative signal level of receive strength from the far end. No direct correlation can be made between RSSI voltage level and actual receive level in dBm. This test point is provided to assess relative signal level for alignment of antennae.

Non-volatile Memory

The TRACER system contains non-volatile memory to retain certain configuration settings. These settings include:

Frequency plan

Chipping code (if set from VT100)

Password

Password enabling

Site name

E1 line coding (if set from VT100)

E1 framing (if set from VT100)
