Rate Adaptive Transmission

You can configure the Megabit Modem 310F and 320F startup margin setting. This setting defaults to 4 dB but may be set from 0 - 15 dB. The modems will attempt to come up at the programmed margin setting. Setting the margin high allows for a cushion against changing line conditions and impulse noise. Setting the margin low provides less protection but allows the modems to come up at a higher data rate (if in rate-adaptive mode) or at a longer loop length (if in fixed data rate mode). The default setting of 3 dB is recommended and provides an overall BER better than 10-10. Reducing the setting to 0 dB will provide a BER of less than 10-7and is not recommended.
