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 |
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
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) |
