D. T1 Status (Error/Alarm Only)

A visual status of current errors/alarms on the T1 interfaces (for both the local and remote TRACER systems) is provided on the TRACER 4106/4206 System Status menu page. T1A through T1D displayed in reverse highlight indicates an active error or alarm condition. Individual T1 status pages (accessible from the main menu) provide detailed T1 information.

E. Remote TRACER Status

The right portion of the TRACER 4106/4206 System Status menu page reports the status of the remote TRACER 4106/4206 (the system across the wireless link from the active terminal). If the RF link is down in either direction, DATA NOT AVAILABLE is displayed in place of the remote system status information.

F. Local TRACER Status

The left portion of the TRACER 4106/4206 System Status menu page reports the status of the local TRACER 4106/4206 (the system where the active terminal is attached).

G. Site Name

The SITE NAME field provides a user-defined alphanumeric description (up to 25 characters) for the TRACER 4106/4206 system. This field is defined from the TRACER 4106/4206 System Options menu page.

H. Frequency Plan

Displays the frequency plan (A or B) for the TRACER 4106/4206 unit. For an operational TRACER 4106/4206 system you should have a frequency plan A radio at one end of the link and a frequency plan B radio at the other end of the link.

I. Rx Quality

Displays an indicator of receive signal quality that is not necessarily related to receive signal level (for both the local and remote units) using a series of symbols (#). The more symbols displayed, the better the signal quality. This indicator is related to signal-to-noise ratio and features a colon (:) marker to indicate 10-6bit error rate. This indicator is useful as a diagnostic tool to help identify interference, as the system may have high receive signal level and poor signal quality in situations where interference is an issue.

J. Rx Power

Displays the approximate receiver levels (for both the local and remote units) using a series of symbols (#). The more symbols (#) displayed, the stronger the signal. If the link is down in either direction,and remote end data is unavailable, DATA NOT AVAILABLE is displayed in place of the symbols (#).

K. Tx Power

Displays the approximate transmitter levels (for both the local and remote units) using a series of symbols (#). The more symbols (#) displayed, the stronger the signal. If the link is down in either direction, and remote end data is unavailable, DATA NOT AVAILABLE is displayed in place of the symbols (#).

L. Navigation Reminders

Displays system navigation reminders. For more details on system navigation, refer to Navigating the Terminal Menu on page 42.
